Hereditary cancer: guidelines in clinical practice. Breast and ovarian cancer genetics
A variable proportion of cancers have a genetic aetiology but genes rarely act alone in shaping cancer predisposition. Environment and other genes modify risks and much of this
interaction is poorly understood at present. Initial genetic risk
assessment is often based on knowledge of genetic epidemiology.
Different levels of increase in predicted risk may shape clinical decisions about molecular genetic testing, prevention or early detection, and knowledge about available options is important in dealing with cancer patients and their families.

Abstract
A variable proportion of cancers have a genetic aetiology but genes rarely act alone in shaping cancer predisposition. Environment and other genes modify risks and much of this
interaction is poorly understood at present. Initial genetic risk
assessment is often based on knowledge of genetic epidemiology.
Different levels of increase in predicted risk may shape clinical decisions about molecular genetic testing, prevention or early detection, and knowledge about available options is important in dealing with cancer patients and their families.
