Hereditary gynaecological malignancies: advances in screening and treatment.
[cowden syndrome]
In
the
last
two
decades
there
have
been
significant
advances
in
our
understanding
of
female
genital
tract
tumours
.
The
discovery
of
BRCA
1
and
BRCA
2
genes
in
ovarian
cancer
and
the
mismatch
repair
genes
in
endometrial
carcinoma
has
revolutionized
our
approach
to
the
diagnosis
and
screening
of
women
for
ovarian
and
uterine
cancers
.
This
review
discusses
the
pathogenesis
of
these
two
hereditary
syndromes
in
depth
and
explains
how
the
molecular
genetics
is
tailoring
the
manner
in
which
these
diseases
are
diagnosed
and
potentially
treated
.
Other
,
less
common
hereditary
conditions
associated
with
gynaecological
tract
manifestations
,
such
as
Cowden
syndrome
,
Peutz-
Jeghers
syndrome
,
Gorlin
syndrome
and
hereditary
leiomyomatosis
and
renal
cell
carcinoma
,
are
also
summarized
briefly
.
