Article Synopsis
- PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome mainly caused by PTEN gene variants, significantly increasing breast cancer risk for female carriers (up to 80%).
- A study tracked breast biopsies of 14 females with these gene variants over 28 years, finding high rates of breast cancer diagnoses (85.7%) with an average initial diagnosis age of 41.6.
- The research highlights that breast cancer in PHTS does not have distinctive features, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to familiarize themselves with these cases for better early recognition and management.
Background: There is little scientific evidence available regarding the pathologic basis for chronic groin injury in athletes, a known difficult clinical problem.
Hypothesis: Histological analysis of the superior pubic ramus in athletes with diagnosed chronic groin injury may reveal the nature of the pathologic process.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
