Extremely high-Q microresonators provide an attractive platform for a plethora of photonic applications including optical frequency combs, high-precision metrology, telecommunication, microwave generation, narrow linewidth lasers, and stable frequency references. Moreover, the desire for compactness and a low power threshold for nonlinear phenomena have spurred investigation into integrated and scalable solutions. Historically, crystalline microresonators with Q ∼ 10 were one of the first material platforms providing unprecedented optical performance in a small form factor.

There is, however, limited data on the experiences of patients undergoing cancer GT by non-genetic providers. This study used in-depth interviews with 21 women recently diagnosed with BC at a large academic health system to capture their experiences.

- The study analyzed breast cancer patients at Johns Hopkins from 2010 to 2021 to determine if those with genetic variants had a higher likelihood of multifocal or multicentric breast cancer (MFMC).
- Among 282 patients, 24% tested positive for a genetic variant, but there was no significant difference in MFMC rates between variant carriers and non-carriers (28% vs. 22%).
- The findings suggest that having a genetic variant does not increase the risk of developing MFMC breast cancer, contrary to some beliefs regarding breast-conserving surgery in BRCA gene carriers.
