UPMC Expert: The Role of Genetics in Breast Cancer Risk

0 Comments

By: Susan Branton, M.D.
UPMC Magee-Womens Breast Health Center

Genetic testing to discover ancestry is common practice and sometimes discovering your family history can reveal unexpected connections, new storylines, and a world of new relatives. But, there’s another benefit for some specific types of genetic testing. The genes you inherit can help doctors determine your cancer risk, including your risk for breast and ovarian cancer.

Everyone has a unique genetic code that is a combination of genes from their parents. Mutations or changes in certain genes can increase the likelihood that certain cells could become cancerous. Pancreas, thyroid, colon, bone, breast, ovarian, soft tissue, and melanoma are cancers that possibly can be linked with genetic mutations. Mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are specifically linked to breast and ovarian cancer. People with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry have a higher incidence of having the BRCA gene mutation. African American women who have a higher rate of estrogen-receptor negative breast cancer also have higher rates of the BRCA1, BRCA2, and another gene called PALB2 that is linked to breast cancer.

So where do you start? At age 18, women should begin talking to their family doctors about their breast and ovarian cancer risks. Important factors that could impact your risk include your age at menses, age at first childbirth, weight, lifestyle, and genetic or family history.

State Police Announce Quarterly Firearms Purchase Denial Investigations

0 Comments

Harrisburg, PA – Pennsylvania State Police today announced the number of firearms purchase denials and subsequent investigations for the third quarter of 2023.

The Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) is used by county sheriffs, police chiefs of first-class cities, and licensed firearms dealers to determine an individual’s legal ability to acquire a license to carry firearms or obtain a firearm through a purchase or transfer. When an individual attempts to provide false information on a state and/or federal form, an investigation is initiated, and an investigation referral is sent to a law enforcement agency.

According to Pennsylvania law, a person commits a third-degree felony if they make a false oral or written statement on any federal or state agency form or willfully presents false identification that is likely to deceive the seller, licensed dealer, or licensed manufacturer. During the PICS process, some individuals are identified as having an active warrant for their arrest.

In the third quarter, the following investigations were initiated by the PSP Firearms Division and referred to PSP Troops, municipal police departments, or ATF for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Penn College women to host UE playoff opener

0 Comments

With a 10-1-7 overall season entering the playoffs, this year’s Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s soccer team already has established itself as one of the program’s best ever, and as the third seed in the United East Volt Division, the Wildcats will host sixth-seeded Penn State Abington at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Penn State Berks, with a win over Penn State Harrisburg on Tuesday, nailed down the Volt Division’s top seed while Harrisburg is seeded second. Lancaster Bible College earned the third seed and St. Mary’s (Md.) College is seeded fourth. Berks and Harrisburg drew first-round byes and will host semifinal games next Tuesday.

Last season, the Wildcats reached the conference’s Final Four before losing to Penn State Harrisburg, 3-2.

In conference matches this season, Penn College is 2-1-2 against other playoff teams with 0-0 ties against Berks and St. Mary’s, a 1-0 loss to Harrisburg, a 3-1 win over Lancaster Bible and a 6-2 win over Abington. The Wildcats have outscored their UE opponents 9-4.

“This season has been one of incredible excitement for our team and program as a whole,” second-year coach Ian Scheller said. “To end any regular season with just one loss is a great achievement because being a team that can consistently compete on any given day might be the most important thing for any program.
