1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff Mom never told you? 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: From House Towards dot com. Hey there, and welcome to 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: the podcast. This is Kristen and Mrs Molly. Molly. Breast 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: cancer has been in the news a lot this week 6 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: and it's heartbreaking news, honestly. Um. There was a ten 7 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: year old Hannah pale al Slam who was diagnosed with 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: breast cancer, and then there was some follow up news 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: of an eight year old girl who was diagnosed with 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: ovarian cancer, and it really caught a lot of women's 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: attention because we think of breast cancer ovarian cancer is 12 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: something that really affects people maybe our mother's age, um, 13 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: but it is in fact something that can happen to 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: two girls this young. So that kind of got me 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: thinking about breast cancer and why so prevalent among women, 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: and um, what else is going on with with prevention? 17 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: Right And at the same time that all of this 18 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: uh sad news was coming out, there were also reports 19 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: that the a c l U had UH sort of 20 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: organized a lawsuit against MARYA Genetics, which holds the patent 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: on the breast cancer genes breast cancer gene one and 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: breast cancer gene two, which from here on out we're 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: just gonna say Braca. UM. The lawsuit challenges the patents 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: that this company holds on these two genes, which occur 25 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: naturally in the body. UM about of human genes are patented, 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: so they're not the only ones that have patents, but UM, 27 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: since married was the first to sequence this gene, they've 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: had this patent on it for a few years. And 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: a CLU says this is unconstitutional, right because Mary Genetics 30 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: has used UH this patented gene in order to develop 31 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: testing for BROCA there it's the only company right now 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: that is legally allowed to conduct testing for Brocco one 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: and Broca two and UH. The a c l U 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: is concerned about quality assurance and whether or not more 35 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: competition in the marketplace would lower the cost barrier and 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: all those factors surrounding it, because breast cancer is so 37 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: prevalent among women, right and especially these you know you 38 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: were talking about how you're concerned, especially about younger women, 39 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: and I think that they're the ones who would be 40 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: most interested in getting a genetic test to find out 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: if they are carriers of Brocco one and Broca too. Basically, 42 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: you can have a blood test, they'll sequence the your 43 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: DNA and if you carry an altered form of this gene, 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: then your chance is just skyrocket that you will have 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: breast cancer. Uh. You know, all women walking around today 46 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: in the world, there's a thirteen percent chance of breast cancer. 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: But if you're carrying this gene, you're three to seven 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: times more likely to developed breast cancer. And what's striking 49 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: about it is with this gene, you don't get an 50 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: old age. You get it long before menopause. Right, Um, 51 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: Because you're as you age, your chances for for breast 52 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: cancer steadily increases to where when you hit fifty you 53 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: have a one in fifty chance of developing breast cancer. 54 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: But like you said, if you are a Bracca car carrier, 55 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: there's a much higher chance that you will develop it 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: long before menopause. So let's talk a little bit more 57 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: about what this gene test entails and who all should 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: get it, because not every female should just walk into 59 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: the doctor's office and ask for the Brocca gene tests. Right. 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: It's too expensive to do that, um. And basically it's 61 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: not like all the can't breast cancer in the world 62 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: is caused by Bracca. Of the about a hud American 63 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: women learn their breast cancer each year, only five to 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: ten percent of those cases are hereditary, which would mean 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: that they had a gene that caused the disease. So 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: the Brocca gene test is reserved for women who would 67 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: be in these higher risk groups. And uh women for instance, 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: who might who might be more risk for having this 69 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: gene mutation would have a personal breast cancer diagnosis, a 70 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: family history of breast cancer at a young age, and 71 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: two or more close relatives, a family history and more 72 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: than one generation a male relative with breast cancer, because well, 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: we can't forget that while it is rare, men can 74 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: develop breast cancer as well. Um a family member bilateral 75 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: breast cancer as in breast cancer in both of the 76 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: breast um, and a family member who has both breasts 77 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: and a variant cancers and women of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, right, 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: So those are the high risk groups. And if they 79 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: so choose, a lot of people don't really want to know. 80 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: You know, essentially, you know, you find out interesting things 81 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: about your d n A if you choose undergo genetic testing, 82 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: you're basically finding out things you know you might have 83 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: a getting. You could go in and find out your 84 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: carrier for this gene or you're not, which is already 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: going to cause some maybe drama and your family if 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: you know your sisters a carrier and you're not. But 87 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: then you've got to decide if I am positive for 88 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: this gene, what am I going to do about it? 89 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: Because it's not just because you carry this gene, it's 90 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: not a guarantee you are going to have cancer, right, 91 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: It just means that you have a much higher risk 92 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: probably for developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer. And one 93 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: of the things that the Mayo Clinic really urges women 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: who are thinking about getting the gene testing is to 95 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: meet with a genetic counselor and really go over the 96 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: potential psychological impacts of getting genetic testing, because, like you said, 97 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if you find out that you are a 98 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: carrier of this mutation, you are then going to have 99 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: to make some very tough decisions about your body, right Christen, 100 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about like, let's say you get 101 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: the positive test result that you have the Brocka gene, 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: what are your options. Let's go over those real quick, okay, um. 103 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: The first thing that you can do, which is I 104 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: guess the least invasive step that you could take would 105 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: just be increased screening. You might bump your clinical breast 106 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: exams to every six months and having mammograms every year, 107 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: and your doctor might actually recommend that you have breast 108 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: m r eyes, which are more detailed look inside of 109 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: the breast to to keep a um keep a closer 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: watch on whether any cancer could be developing. And then 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: at the other side of the spectrum, probably the most 112 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: invasive thing you could do would be to remove essentially 113 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: all your breast tissue in order to reduce the chance 114 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: that a tumor would develop in that tissue. So basically 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: you'd have a profanitive bassectomy um and this would reduce 116 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: your breast cancer risk by about um. And then you 117 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: also have an option of removing healthy fallopian tubes and ovaries, 118 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: which would reduce your breast cancer risk by about and 119 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer by about But Molly, 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: those are those are pretty extreme surgeries to make before 121 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: you even know that you have surgery. In this article 122 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: that we were reading in the New York times of 123 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: kind of tracking This um thirty year old woman's decision 124 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: to have a preventative mess sack to me, really gave 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: insight into um, how much you have to think about, 126 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: like what kind of a burden it is like talking 127 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: to your family about it. This woman, UM had a 128 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: pretty strong family history of breast cancer. Her mother had 129 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: breast cancer. She watched her go through chemotherapy, and she 130 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: was just terrified that she would have to go through 131 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: the same thing and ended up choosing to get the 132 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: preventative mestick to me, but it certainly wasn't you know, 133 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: an easy decision to come to rite part of the 134 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: thing you're gonna have to consider, especially if you're at 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: that young of age. I believe she was thirty three 136 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: and she was unmarried. Uh. You know, women have a 137 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: lot of issues tied up in their body about what 138 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: makes them attractive, what makes them you know, essentially feminine, 139 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: and your breasts and your ability to have children are 140 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: two of those main things. So she was dating a 141 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: guy at the time. I was trying to sort of 142 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: uh sess out how he felt about plastic surgery, and 143 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, if she would have breasts that weren't real 144 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be able to breastfeed one day. So it's 145 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: a very loaded decision to have to make based on 146 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: a you know, based on a test result that doesn't 147 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: say necessarily you're gonna have cancer, but it does say 148 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: you have an extremely high chance of having cancer. And 149 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: there is one other option. It's called chemo prevention, which 150 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: is basically where you start taking the drugs that you 151 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: would take if you were undergoing breast cancer treatment as 152 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: sort of a preventative measure, and then maybe one day 153 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: they hope that they will be able to do gene 154 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: therapy perhaps alter these genes. But this gets back to 155 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: why there might be a patent on this, uh, because 156 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: what can happen sometimes when you have this test is 157 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: instead of getting the positive or the negative, you have 158 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: an ambiguous result. Right. Um, there was a study that's 159 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: found that about ten of women undergoing bracket testing had 160 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: ambiguous or uncertain test results. They don't know whether it's 161 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: positive or negative. So that just kind of leaves them 162 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: back the drawing board. So in that case, you know, 163 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: for any other medical procedure where you get sort of 164 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: a you know, ambiguous result, you'll be able to have 165 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: another test. But that's sort of the problem. One of 166 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: the problems at heart of this A c l U 167 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: lawsuit is because Mary Genetics is the only company that 168 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: has this has the right to administer this test, there's 169 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: no sort of second opinion available to women, and Mary 170 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: Genetics are the only labs that are legally allowed to 171 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: to perform the testing. And while there haven't been any 172 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: studies that have said that uh, other labs doing kind 173 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: of backup testing would improve um the rate of false 174 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: positives and false negatives. UM, the A c l you 175 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: thinks that it should still be an open option, right, 176 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: they should be able to get that second opinion. Or 177 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: let's say, you know a lot of women go in 178 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: and their concern based on their family history, they're convinced 179 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: they have this gene and then they get a negative 180 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: almost like you still can't believe it until you have 181 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: some sort of further proof, right, and even if you 182 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: get a negative, we can't forget that, uh, no matter 183 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: what every woman has about a chance brockagene or no 184 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: brockagene of developing breast cancer. So just to review, now 185 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: that we know why you might want to take this test, 186 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: and no sort of your odds and your options. We'll 187 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: just go over real quick again, why it would matter 188 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: if this gene had a patent obviously, Uh, you know, 189 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the treatment for breast cancer is very extreme. It's hard 190 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: on the body. Obviously, people think that if you know 191 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: what the breast cancer gene is, you can do a 192 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: lot of work in terms of research of prevention and cure. 193 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: And right now Myriad is basically sitting on this gene. 194 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: They're probably doing their own research, but a lot of 195 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: scientists would like to get in on that action, right 196 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: And Molly didn't didn't you read an article and CNN 197 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: that was saying that that even though a lot about 198 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: of sequenced genes are patented, the court kind of sillocking 199 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: this as its test case. That's where what a lot 200 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: of legal scholars think is that you know, because you 201 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: know so many women are affected by this, and you 202 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: know men have lost the spouse to this, daughters to this, 203 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: that why wouldn't you open up the breast cancer gene 204 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: when when breast cancer is so prevalent um and and 205 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: just to go over those stats again, um cancer and 206 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: younger women under thirty is rare, accounting for about one 207 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and a half percent of all breast cancer cases. But 208 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: then at the age of forty our chances go up 209 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: to one and two. By fifty we've got a one 210 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: in fifty chance, and if we live to be eighty five, 211 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: the odds of developing breast cancer are one in eight. 212 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: So it's pretty staggering. This case is definitely wanted to 213 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. We don't know how it'll shake out, 214 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: and you know who have the issue. Thing here is 215 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: also priced. They don't know if the price of the 216 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: exam would be lowered by competition on the market, but 217 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: for reasons of that quality assurance for the research. That's 218 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: why the a c l U is saying that people 219 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: should have the ability to have access to to a 220 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: gene that is already in their body. Right, Molly and 221 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: I think that if we were talking about breast cancer, 222 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: even if you aren't in the high risk group and 223 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: might want to consider getting the Brocka gene testing, I 224 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: think that it is worth mentioning that women in our 225 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: twenties and thirties should have a clinical breast exam as 226 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: part of a periodic health exam by health professional, preferably 227 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: every three years, and after forty that breast exam should 228 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: happen every year in addition to mammograms. Because a twelve 229 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: percent chance Molley is nothing that you want to gamble with. 230 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: Question not so.
