About BRCA Genes & Mutations

 Talking openly about health history with your family is important. Documenting that information, especially if there is a family history of cancer, can be life-saving.  There have been more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes discovered so far. Many of the cancers associated with these syndromes can be prevented.  Being aware of a family history of cancer can provide important information that you and your physician can use to determine if you’re a candidate for genetic testing, more frequent screenings, and/or other preventive measures.
