[Verse 1] Two letters, BRCA, written into you before you're born, One and two, the sisters, raise the odds like breaking dawn — Forty-five to seventy percent, the breast will roll the dice, Ovaries whisper danger too, so here's the doctor's advice: Risk-reducing mastectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy too, Thirty-five for BRCA one, forty for BRCA two. [Chorus] Corta antes, não espera — cut before the odds can gather, Мы не ждём, мы режем раньше — cut before it ever matters, Genes don't lie, they draw the map, surgery writes the answer back, Corta antes, vida salva — mutation found, we end the attack. [Verse 2] Lynch is sneaky, hides in genes called MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, EPCAM joins the crew. Amsterdam criteria, remember three-two-one: Three relatives, two generations, one before fifty's done. Colorectal, endometrial, the twins that Lynch creates, Screen the family tree in time before the cancer waits. [Chorus] Corta antes, não espera — cut before the odds can gather, Мы не ждём, мы режем раньше — cut before it ever matters, Genes don't lie, they draw the map, surgery writes the answer back, Corta antes, vida salva — mutation found, we end the attack. [Verse 3] FAP means APC is broken, polyps bloom like weeds, Hundreds crowding colon walls, planting cancer's seeds. Almost certain, doctors say, if we just watch and wait, So the colon comes out early — colectomy's the fate. [Verse 4] RET gene whispers MEN2, thyroid medullary dread, MEN2A by age of five, the thyroid must be shed. MEN2B won't wait a birthday, operate within the year, Little patients, big decisions, cut away the fear. [Verse 5] VHL gene hides in silence, kidneys, eyes, and brain, Hemangioblastomas gather, pheochromocytoma's pain. Surveillance starts in childhood, scans before the signs appear, Surgery waits for growth to threaten, watching year by year. PTEN hamartoma tumors, thyroid, breast, and skin, Cowden syndrome's quiet warning — screen before the risk sinks in. [Bridge] TP53 is Li-Fraumeni — sarcomas, brain, and breast, Adrenal glands join the chorus, no organ gets a rest. CDH1 steals the stomach, diffuse and hiding deep, Total gastrectomy's the answer while the margins still are clean. Não espera o tumor crescer, surgeons strike before it's drawn, Режем раньше, чем опухоль — cut before the cells are sworn. [Chorus] Corta antes, não espera — cut before the odds can gather, Мы не ждём, мы режем раньше — cut before it ever matters, Genes don't lie, they draw the map, surgery writes the answer back, Corta antes, vida salva — mutation found, we end the attack. [Outro] Corta antes, vida salva, mutation found before the fight, Genes write chapters, we write endings — surgery gets it right.
