and why ????????????? Breast cancer: -in the Netherlands 10.000 new cases/year -incidence has doubled since 1940, now 1000/106 women/year -30 % of all cancers in women -life time risk is 8-12% -in 50% of women with primary tumors occult metastases occur -death rate: 40% in node-negative 70% in node-positive nearly 100% in metastatic disease hereditary 5-10%, involvement BRCA-1, BRCA-2 and CHEK-2 in men: incidence 1% of that of women.
