A member asked:
My mom had an acoustic neuroma a 36 and breast cancer at 54. are these related?

No: Acoustic neuroma is fairly common and of course breast cancer is very common. The genetic pathways and genetic syndrome that give rise to these do not, to my knowledge, overlap -- and by now they are fairly well worked out. You're to be commended for your commitment to health, and you'll want to keep up self-exam and perhaps mammography to catch any breast cancers early.
