First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at 421 women with lobular breast cancer to see how often they have changes in the CDH1 gene. The goal was to understand if these gene changes raise the risk for breast cancer, especially in women diagnosed at a young age or with cancer in both breasts. The research did not test a treatment, but instead aimed to gather information that could help identify women at higher risk.
