¿CÓMO PUEDO MODIFICAR MI RIESGO A DESARROLLAR CÁNCER, CUANDO SOY PORTADOR DE UNA MUTACIÓN?

The strategies to modify the risk will vary along our knowledge of the epidemiology, pathogenesis and the molecular mechanisms specific to each individual cancer. The hereditary cancer syndromes will facilitate this study because, as more information about human genomics becomes available, it will be possible to comprehend clearly the underlying molecular mechanisms of this diseases and result possibly in effective strategies to control them. Unfortunately, despite our extensive current knowledge on some of the risk factors of most of this malignant neoplasias, we have been unable to induct effective lifestyle changes that could substantially reduce the risk of these malignancies in our population.
