Abstract:
There have been rapid advances in precision medicine since the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, including several noteworthy advances in Women's Health. This includes significant advances in predicting individualized cancer risk based on hereditary cancer genetic testing, with the number of known cancer-predisposition genes extending well beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2. This has been coupled with gene-specific management guidelines for several gynecologic cancers. In addition, genetic testing can also inform therapy selection for women with gynecologic cancers. Here we address hereditary cancer and practical cancer genetics as it relates to the practicing Obstetrician/Gynecologist.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
