Hereditary Cancer is Preventable
Downplaying the risk does not make it any less of a threat to those who may be at risk.
Germline genetic testing is NOT done on every
cancer patient. Nobody knows for sure what the true percentage is. The ONLY message
that matters is that hereditary cancer is preventable. That’s why I created
this graphic and gave it to CGA IGC to use.

Hereditary Cancer is Preventable
Hereditary cancer risk is not an individual issue, it can involve half the family tree. Hundreds of thousands of cancer cases could be prevented and thousands of lives saved every year if we just changed the way we think and talk about hereditary cancer.
National Hereditary Cancer Week begins this coming Sunday. Do you know the health history of your family tree? Hereditary cancer is preventable.
A sidenote: Angelina Jolie is said to be a Filles du Roi descendant on her maternal side. Angelina has a BRCA1 mutation. Her mother, who died of ovarian cancer, was of French-Canadian descent.
