Franța cere un moratoriu asupra atacurilor din Marea Neagră după lovirea a două nave New

Franța cere un moratoriu asupra atacurilor din Marea Neagră după lovirea a două nave

Franța a condamnat ferm atacurile cu drone care au vizat nave comerciale în ultimele zile în Marea Neagră, în largul coastelor României și Bulgariei, și își exprimă solidaritatea cu cele două țări. Mesajul a fost transmis de purtătorul de cuvânt al Ministerului francez pentru Europa și Afaceri Externe, Pascal Confavreux.„Franța condamnă cu cea mai mare fermitate atacurile inacceptabile cu drone care au vizat nave comerciale în ultimele zile în Marea Neagră în largul coastelor Bulgariei și României”, spune declarația lui Pascal Confavreux, publiată pe pagina de Facebook a Ambasadei Franței în România.Diplomația franceză consideră că atacurile reprezintă o nouă escaladare a conflictului și o încălcare a dreptului internațional. „Intensificarea atacurilor împotriva navigației civile și a navelor comerciale în Marea Neagră, care continuă să provoace victime, este inacceptabilă”, a mai transmis Parisul.Potrivit declarației, incidentele demonstrează că războiul declanșat de Rusia împotriva Ucrainei reprezintă o amenințare la adresa securității europene. „Războiul de agresiune al Rusiei împotriva Ucrainei reprezintă o amenințare la adresa securității Uniunii Europene și a NATO în ansamblul său”, subliniază purtătorul de cuvânt.Citește și: Nicușor Dan, discuție cu președintele Bulgariei după atacurile cu drone asupra navelor din Marea NeagrăFranța a reiterat că va continua să sprijine Ucraina și a cerut instituirea unui moratoriu asupra atacurilor în Marea Neagră. Totodată, autoritățile franceze au transmis că securitatea României și Bulgariei reprezintă o prioritate.„Franța își exprimă deplina solidaritate cu România și Bulgaria. Securitatea acestora reprezintă o prioritate pentru noi și trebuie garantată”, mai spune mesajul.Reacția vine după ce premierul bulgar Rumen Radev a anunțat, marți, că două nave au fost lovite de drone în largul coastei bulgare a Mării Negre, iar una dintre ele s-a scufundat. El a calificat incidentele drept „inacceptabile” și a anunțat că intenționează să o convoace pe ambasadoarea Rusiei.La rândul eu, președinta Comisiei Europene Ursula von der Leyen a condamnat, la rândul său, atacurile, pe care le-a descris drept „un nou front de escaladare în războiul Rusiei din Ucraina”.

Clés USB piégées et cadeaux espions : l’alerte de la DGSI aux entreprises New

Clés USB piégées et cadeaux espions : l’alerte de la DGSI aux entreprises

Clés USB vérolées, soirées arrosées qui tournent au chantage… Si la remise de cadeaux dans le cadre de relations professionnelles ou commerciales « est un phénomène courant », ces attentions « peuvent masquer des buts, susceptibles de constituer une ingérence ou de placer le récipiendaire en position de fragilité », alerte la DGSI - Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure, à l’adresse des chefs et cadres d’entreprises. Dans une note publiée sur son site internet, et dévoilée par Le Point, le renseignement intérieur a ainsi révélé plusieurs cas - anonymisés - d’entreprises récemment piégées par des acteurs étrangers afin de les « déstabiliser » ou « d’obtenir des informations confidentielles ». D’aspects identiques, certains objets étaient plus lourds que d’autres L’espionnage peut en effet prendre différentes formes. Il y a le cas par exemple de cet établissement industriel « exerçant ses activités dans un secteur sensible », et qui a reçu la visite de plusieurs partenaires étrangers, qui ont « offert des cadeaux sous forme d’objets symboliques à plusieurs dirigeants de l’établissement ». Rien à signaler dans un premier temps, sauf que certains dirigeants ont finalement constaté que les objets, « qui semblaient identiques à première vue, présentaient des différences légères, certains étant plus lourds que d’autres. » « Une première analyse technique a révélé une anomalie grave au sein de l’un des objets », soupçonné de renfermer un système de captation. « Tous les cadeaux offerts par la délégation étrangère ont été immédiatement écartés de l’établissement. » Dans la même veine, des représentants d’une société française en déplacement à l’étranger, se sont vus offrir des goodies de la part d’une société étrangère évoluant dans la même sphère d’activité, notamment des clés USB. À leur retour en France, « ces derniers ont eu le réflexe de confier ces clés USB à la direction sûreté de l’entreprise pour expertise ». Il s’est avéré que deux d’entre elles « contenaient un malware déguisé sous la forme d’un raccourci Windows sur le répertoire racine de la clé ». Dans le doute, « elle a cessé tout contact avec la société étrangère ». L’objectif de la soirée était « de compromettre certains participants » Autre exemple, au cours d’un salon international organisé en France, « des salariés et dirigeants de plusieurs entreprises françaises, dont certaines évoluent dans des secteurs stratégiques, ont été approchés par le représentant d’une entreprise étrangère ». La discussion se termine au restaurant et en discothèque, « l’ensemble des frais de la soirée, qui s’élevaient à plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’euros, étant payés par l’entreprise étrangère. » Les investigations de la DGSI ont permis de révéler que l’objectif « était de collecter des informations confidentielles et de compromettre certains participants en les incitant à consommer de l’alcool et pouvoir les photographier dans des situations potentiellement gênantes ». De tels clichés peuvent en effet servir de moyens de pression sur les personnes visées. Les cadeaux de grande valeur (objets de luxe, voyages, évènements prestigieux) « peuvent constituer des leviers à moyen terme et devenir des motifs de chantage, même plusieurs années après avoir été offerts » souligne la DGSI. Le renseignement intérieur préconise ainsi « d’évaluer les risques liés à l’acteur étranger à l’origine du cadeau », « d’étudier avec son responsable sûreté toute invitation à un évènement », ou encore de « ne jamais utiliser un appareil numérique dont la sécurité n’est pas entièrement garantie ». Il alerte aussi les entreprises sur le fait de « sensibiliser régulièrement l’ensemble du personnel aux risques associés aux cadeaux » et de « mettre en place une charte interne dédiée aux cadeaux. »

Firenze, a 94 anni rischia lo sfratto: l’affitto sale da 450 a 1.200 euro New

Firenze, a 94 anni rischia lo sfratto: l’affitto sale da 450 a 1.200 euro

Per sessanta lunghi anni la signora Franca ha abitato sempre nella stessa casa, un appartamento di un palazzo a Firenze Nord dove ha vissuto gran parte della sua esistenza, ma con l'arrivo del nuovo anno la sua vita potrebbe essere stravolta da uno sfratto forzoso dopo che i nuovi proprietari le hanno letteralmente triplicato l'affitto senza nessuna possibilità di trattativa. È L'ennesimo caso di disagio abitativo delle grandi città italiane che questa volta riguarda addirittura una pensionata di 94 anni che nel febbraio prossimo si ritroverà nell'impossibilità di poter pagare il nuovo fitto a causa dell'importo che supera di gran lunga la sua pensione. Come ha raccontato la figlia al Corriere Fiorentino, tutto è iniziato con il passaggio di proprietà dal vecchio padrone della casa ai nuovi gestori dell'immobile che sono nipoti e parenti del precedente imprenditore. Qualche mese fa infatti alla donna è arrivata la comunicazione che l'affitto, finora stabilito con contratti a equo canone di due anni e con prezzi abbordabili, verrà triplicato al prossimo rinnovo di contratto che è previsto per il febbraio del 2027. L'affitto dell'appartamento in cui vive l’anziana passerà dagli attuali 450 euro a 1.200 euro al mese, una cifra che la pensionata non può assolutamente permettersi percependo l'assegno minimo di pensione più la reversibilità del marito scomparso. "Se dovesse pagare 1.200 euro di affitto, non le rimarrebbe praticamente niente per vivere, nemmeno per mangiare" sottolinea la figlia della novantaquattrenne che ancora non ha informato la madre temendo uno shock per l'anziana già affetta da condizioni di salute precarie a causa dell'età. La donna ha spiegando di aver tentato anche di intavolare una trattativa con i proprietari dell'immobile ma che non ha trovato nessuno spiraglio dall'altra parte. La figlia della donna infatti si è detta anche disponibile a integrare l'eventuale aumento di affitto restando però sotto la cifra richiesta dai proprietari. "Un piccolo aumento lo potremmo anche sostenere ma questa è una cifra impossibile. E quello che mi dispiace è che non ci sia stata nemmeno la possibilità di aprire una vera trattativa, di provare a venirsi incontro" ha raccontato la donna che ora si è rivolta al sindacato degli inquilini Sunia per cercare di trovare un sostegno e non arrivare a quella che potrebbe essere una costosa procedura giudiziaria per far valere le proprie ragioni in quanto la 94enne è anziana e malata. Secondo la legge, infatti, alla scadenza del contratto, il locatore notifica una finita locazione e cita l’inquilino in giudizio. Il giudice emette l’ordinanza di rilascio e fissa la data in cui l’immobile deve essere libero. Dalla notifica dell’intimazione alla data effettiva del rilascio, però, passano spesso mesi e a volte anni nei grandi centri urbani. "La storia di Franca non è isolata. In provincia di Firenze "nel 2025 sono stati eseguiti con la forza pubblica 312 sfratti, più di uno per ogni giorno lavorativo, e le richieste di esecuzione sono state 2.004, il 35% di tutta la Toscana" ha affermato Dmitrij Palagi, capogruppo di Sinistra progetto Comune chiedendo alla Prefettura di Firenze una moratoria degli sfratti nella Città metropolitana.

Siniša Mali posle posete Kleku prešao iz stare škode u luksuzni crni automobil New

Siniša Mali posle posete Kleku prešao iz stare škode u luksuzni crni automobil

volimzrenjanin.com autor: 14. okt. 2026. 15:00 Poseta ministra finansija i visokog funkcionera Srpske napredne stranke Siniše Malog Kleku, tokom koje je razgovarao s pripadnicima Vatrogasno-spasilačkog bataljona Zrenjanin i članovima Dobrovoljnog vatrogasnog društva, dobila je potpuno novu dimenziju. Oglas I to zahvaljujući građanima Kleka koji su se javili redakciji portala Volim Zrenjanin, ali i onome što je naša ekipa potom zatekla na terenu.Naime, nekoliko meštana ovog olimpijskog sela obratilo se ovom sajtu s neobičnom pričom. Prema njihovim rečima, Siniša Mali je u Klek stigao luksuznim automobilom marke audi A8, s vozačem i svetlosnom signalizacijom (blinkerima), ali je pre dolaska među vatrogasce navodno promenio vozilo i prešao u znatno stariju i skromniju škodu. volimzrenjanin.com Zašto bi ministar finansija, koji je ujedno član Predsedništva SNS i potpredsednik Glavnog odbora te stranke, menjao automobil neposredno pre susreta s građanima? Da li je u pitanju bezbednosni protokol, organizacija posete ili možda pokušaj da se pred ljudima ostavi nešto skromniji utisak, pita portal Volim Zrenjanin? volimzrenjanin.com Novinari na ovom sajtu nisu želeli da donose zaključke samo na osnovu priča meštana. Zato su otišli u Klek da provere šta se zapravo događa.Pola sata čekanja i neobična zamena automobilaKod farme na ulazu u Klek zatekli su luksuzni crni automobil sa zatamnjenim staklima. Parkirali su se na dvadesetak metara udaljenosti i odlučili da sačekaju. Prošlo je približno pola sata, a onda se pojavila starija siva Škoda. Iz nje je izašao Siniša Mali, prešao u luksuzni crni automobil koji ga je čekao i potom se udaljio.Dakle, ono što su im meštani prethodno ispričali o promeni vozila dobilo je potvrdu u onome što su neposredno videli prilikom ministrovog odlaska iz Kleka.Ipak, redakcija nije nezavisno utvrdila tačan model, godište i vlasništvo crnog automobila, niti razlog zbog kojeg je ministar koristio dva vozila. Ako je, kako tvrde njihovi sagovornici, reč o audiju A8 novije generacije, valja podsetiti da je to jedna od najluksuznijih limuzina nemačkog proizvođača.Prema zvaničnom cenovniku kompanije audi u Srbiji, novi A8 košta od 106.522 evra, dok cena, u zavisnosti od motora i dodatne opreme, može biti znatno viša. Reč je, dakle, o automobilu čija cena može predstavljati višegodišnju zaradu prosečnog građanina Srbije. volimzrenjanin.com Možda je sve samo slučajnost. Možda postoje sasvim opravdani razlozi za ovakvu promenu automobila. Ali prizor ministra koji među građane dolazi jednim vozilom, a potom se na izlazu iz sela vraća u luksuznu limuzinu, svakako zaslužuje objašnjenje. Posebno kad se ima u vidu da je Srbija u jeku predizborne kampanje, tokom koje politički funkcioneri obilaze porodice, radnike, zdravstvene ustanove, udruženja i dobrovoljna društva.Naravno, ministar ima pravo da koristi službeno vozilo u skladu s propisima i bezbednosnim procedurama. Ali građani imaju jednako pravo da pitaju zašto je došlo do zamene automobila, ko je organizovao prevoz i da li je reč o službenoj ili stranačkoj aktivnosti.A šta su vatrogasci dobili od ove posete?U celoj priči gotovo da smo zaboravili ono zbog čega je ministar došao – vatrogasce. Ljude koji svoj posao obavljaju u teškim i često opasnim uslovima, koji spasavaju živote i imovinu, a čiji rad zaslužuje mnogo više od protokolarnog rukovanja i fotografisanja. Za sada nismo pronašli potvrdu da je tokom posete najavljena konkretna investicija, nabavka opreme ili druga mera koja bi unapredila njihov rad.Zato se postavlja pitanje: da li je u Kleku važnije bilo razgovarati o problemima vatrogasaca ili ostaviti odgovarajući utisak pred građanima?I još jedno, možda zanimljivije: ako je promena automobila bila sasvim uobičajena, zbog čega javnosti jednostavno ne objasniti njen razlog? Odgovora na pitanje zašto je ministar menjao automobil još nema. Ali imamo pravo da ga tražimo.Makar i kroz ovakve tekstove kao što je onaj na portalu Volim Zrenjanin.Redakcija Nova.rs poslala je pitanja Informativnoj službi SNS o razlozima posete Siniše Malog Kleku, kao i da li je ministar pre posete vatrogascima promenio vozilo. Do objave ovog teksta odgovor nismo dobili. Pratite nas na društvenim mrežama: Koje je tvoje mišljenje o ovoj temi? Učestvuj u diskusiji ili pročitaj komentare

Canlı yayında veda edemeyen Halk TV çalışanları YouTube’dan seslendi

Sabah saatlerinde kayyum atanarak yayınları durdurulan Halk TV’de çalışanlar bir araya gelerek açıklama yaptı. Halk TV Genel Yayın Yönetmeni Suat Toktaş, çalışanlarla birlikte hazırlanan açıklamayı kanalın YouTube hesabından yaptı.Halk TV Genel Yayın Yönetmeni Suat Toktaş, kayyum atanması ve yayınların durdurulmasının ardından kanal çalışanlarıyla birlikte açıklama yaptı. Açıklamasında yaşanan süreci değerlendiren Toktaş, yaklaşık 20 yıldır yayın yapan kanala gece yarısı düzenlenen operasyonla el konulduğunu belirtti.Ana kumandanın teslim alınması halinde izleyicilere canlı yayında veda edeceklerini ifade eden Toktaş, kumandanın teslim alınamaması nedeniyle çalışanlarıyla birlikte YouTube kanalı için video hazırladıklarını söyledi.Toktaş, “Yayında veda edemedik ama bir biçimde sesimizi duyurmaya çalışacağız. Bunun hangi mecralarda olacağını şu anda bilmiyoruz. Planlarımızı yapacağız, bunları duyarsınız” ifadelerini kullandı. “HALKIN HABER ALMA ÖZGÜRLÜĞÜ İÇİN ÇALIŞTIK”Halk TV'nin Türkiye'nin en fazla izlenen kanallarından biri olduğunu söyleyen Toktaş, yaşananların halkın bilgi edinme hakkını engellediğini savundu. Kanal çalışanlarının gazeteciliği yalnızca profesyonel bir yayıncılık faaliyeti olarak görmediğini belirten Toktaş, Türkiye'nin içinden geçtiği süreci kayıt altına almayı ve tarihin hafızasına aktarmayı amaçladıklarını dile getirdi.Yayın çizgilerinin toplumun farklı kesimlerini kapsadığını ifade eden Toktaş, İliç katliamı, Narin Güran cinayeti, Cerattepe ve Akbelen'deki gelişmeleri takip ettiklerini söyledi. Toktaş, farklı kimliklerin ve kesimlerin haklarını savunmaya çalıştıklarını belirterek, mağduriyet yaşayanların sesini duyurmayı hedeflediklerini kaydetti.Toktaş, insan hakları ihlallerini gündeme getiren ve hak haberciliğini esas alan bir yayıncılık yapmaya gayret ettiklerini ifade etti.“BU GİDİŞAT DOĞRU BİR GİDİŞAT DEĞİL”Gazeteciliğin sona ermeyeceğini vurgulayan Toktaş, yaşananların Türkiye'nin demokrasisine ve basın özgürlüğüne katkı sağlamayacağını savundu. Halk TV'nin geçmişte de çeşitli baskılarla karşı karşıya kaldığını belirten Toktaş, çalışanların darbedildiğini, cezaevine gönderildiğini ve yayınların durdurulduğunu söyledi.Frekans iptalleriyle de tehdit edildiklerini ifade eden Toktaş, tüm bu süreçlere rağmen yayın çizgilerini sürdürmeye çalıştıklarını dile getirdi.Toktaş, “Yarın bu çizgiye, bu gazetecilik anlayışına Türkiye'nin her zamankinden daha fazla ihtiyacı olacak. Çünkü bu gidişat doğru bir gidişat değil” dedi.Demokratik sınırlar içinde yayın yaptıklarını belirten Toktaş, iktidar ve muhalefet arasındaki değişimlerin demokratik yollarla gerçekleşmesi gerektiğini ifade ederek, gelecekte farklı mecralarda da gazeteciliğe devam edeceklerini söyledi.“EKONOMİK OLARAK BOĞULMAYA ÇALIŞILDIK”Kanalın ekonomik ve hukuki baskılar altında kaldığını öne süren Toktaş, sürecin Halk TV'nin sahibi Cafer Mahiroğlu'na yönelik hamlelerle başladığını iddia etti.Kanalın finansmanının kesilmesiyle yayınların sona erdirilmesinin amaçlandığını savunan Toktaş, dosyalara hâkim olduğunu belirterek çeşitli gizli tanık ifadeleri üzerinden süreç yürütüldüğünü söyledi.Toktaş, “Finansman kesildiğinde bu yayınların kesilmesini istiyorlardı. Ama o da geri durmadı. Ne bizi ne de bu kanala finansman sağlayan patronu Cafer Mahiroğlu'nu susturamadıkları için bugün el koydular” ifadelerini kullandı.“TARİH BUNLARI YAZAR”Yaşananları hem Türkiye'nin gazetecilik tarihi hem de kendi meslek yaşamları açısından önemli bir gün olarak nitelendiren Toktaş, bundan sonra yayınların hangi mecralarda sürdürüleceğinin henüz belli olmadığını söyledi.Kanal çalışanlarıyla birlikte ellerinden geleni yaptıklarını belirten Toktaş, açıklamasını şu sözlerle tamamladı:“Bundan sonra hangi mecrada ne olur, bunu bilemiyoruz ama tarih bunları yazar. Tarihin doğru tarafında durma bilinciyle hareket ettik. Bundan sonra da öyle olacaktır.” www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek. Tic. A.Ş'ye aittir.

Civil servant accused of holding five jobs totalling 183 hours a week New

Civil servant accused of holding five jobs totalling 183 hours a week

Updated 13:37 14 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 12:30 14 Oct 2026 GMT+1Civil servant Kashim Chowdhury, 55, is also accused of 'pretending to be ill' and putting on white makeup in a video callA civil servant taking home five salaries was contracted to work more hours that exist in a week, according to prosecutors.Kashim Chowdhury, from Whitechapel, east London, has been accused of lying about his employment status by pretending to work 183 hours a week for five jobs.There are 186 hours in a week, making this physically impossible.Jurors at Southwark Crown Court were told that the 55-year-old earned almost £350,000 from eight employers between February 2020 and September 2023.AdvertProsecutor Lucy Organ recalled a ‘laughable’ incident in May 2023 when Chowdhury allegedly put on white makeup during a video call to pretend that he was ill.His UKHSA manager Aleesha Adams had arranged a video call to discuss his recent sick leave, as the court heard that Chowdhury had told employers he had to work from home to care for his ‘unwell’ mother.Chowdhury appeared on camera ‘coughing and blowing his nose’, the court heard, while Adams said that his face appeared white, as his neck was a different colour.Kashim Chowdhury denies nine counts of fraud (PA)“There could be no doubt about it, the defendant had applied makeup to his face for this Teams meeting to try and pretend to his line manager that he was unwell,” she said.“This almost laughable incident demonstrates, we say, quite how far the defendant was willing to go in his deceit.”Chowdhury started working at Tower Hamlets Council in February 2020, followed by Defra in April 2021.During 2022, he also worked for East London NHS Trust for four months. After leaving the council, he reportedly took further positions at the Department of Health and Social Care, UK Health Security Agency, Department for Business and Trade, Food Standards Agency and Home Office.By May 2023, he allegedly held five full-time jobs simultaneously, totalling 183 contracted hours weekly.The defendant denies nine counts of fraud.Chowdhury has been accused of earning £350,000 from eight employers (PA)Organ said that between March 2020 and September 2023, Chowdhury had over £300,000 in credits into his three bank accounts and nearly £250,000 in debits.“He also made, the prosecution say, continuing implied false representations by having a full-time job and not revealing to his employers that he had other full-time employment,” she added.“In fact members of the jury, you will hear evidence that at times he positively lied about his employment history and having other full-time jobs.“He concealed that he had multiple simultaneous employments from his employers. As a result, he was paid for multiple full-time jobs at the same time.“We say those jobs were obtained by false representation – fraud – and made a financial gain for himself from this fraud.”Featured Image Credit: PATopics: Money, Jobs, UK News, Crime

About 5% to 10% of breast cancer cases are linked to inherited gene mutations, which is why doctors recommend all women complete a risk assessment by age 25 to determine if they should get further genetic testing for cancer-linked BRCA mutations.But women who got their genetic test results a while ago — before 2013 — may find it missed mutations we can easily test for now.In fact, a recent study found than one in six women (17.3%) who tested negative for dangerous mutations in the early days of testing actually did have a dangerous variant when they retested an average of five years later.“There are probably thousands of individuals out there who need to be retested,” Dr. Sofia Merajver, a breast cancer researcher, told the Washington Post. Genetic testing in patients who are at high-risk of breast cancer is an important way to potentially catch breast cancer early, like self-exams, seen here.

When cancer does develop in people with mutations on these genes, it’s often more aggressive.These genes were identified in the ’90s by Myriad Genetics, and for 15 years, the company held exclusive rights to screen and test for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Tests usually looked for one or the other, or both, excluding many other genes we now know hold risk.In 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that human genes couldn’t be patented, opening the door for easier testing that looked at both BRCA genes as well as mutations on up to 50 cancer-related genes in one test.After 2013, costs also dropped from around $4,000 to less than $400. As a result, testing among both men and women steadily increased over the next decade.As research has expanded, we now know about at least 11 more genes linked to increased risk of breast cancer outside of BRCA1 and BRCA2.But that’s not an exhaustive list: Dozens of other genes are being investigated to see if they increase a person’s risk of breast cancer.“It’s very worthwhile for someone to get retested because if you’ve only been tested for BRCA1 and 2, you only have part of the story,” Dr. Versha Pleasant, a breast cancer researcher, told the Washington Post. Genetic testing for breast cancer risk might look like a blood sample or cheek swab. MINAE – stock.adobe.comShould you get tested for genetic breast cancer risk?In the study that showed more than one in six women got a false negative on breast cancer genetic testing, most only returned to get retested after a family member was diagnosed.Having a first degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) with breast cancer almost doubles a woman’s risk of developing it themselves. Family history is one of the most important factors in a standard risk assessment assessing whether you should get genetic testing done. Ideally, it should be done with a doctor as DIY risk assessmentsGenetic testing is especially important for those who’ve already been diagnosed with cancer, as genetic mutations could change treatment plans.For example, after a test shows a high-risk inherited gene mutation, a doctor may recommend a mastectomy (removal of all breast tissue) rather than a lumpectomy (removal of the tumor only, preserving the breast) to drop risk of cancer returning to the single digits.Also, medications may work well for a certain mutation but not another. Genetic testing can point doctors to what treatment will work best.
