Check My Inherited Cancer Risk
Family History and Personal History
When it comes to thinking about your chances of developing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), it's important to consider your family history. If you aren't sure exactly how you're related to a particular family member, or whether they had breast or ovarian cancer, discuss it with other family members. If you know your family history of cancer, your discussion with your doctor will be that much more valuable.
