Should You Consider a Cancer Risk Assessment?
A cancer risk assessment could provide you with more information about your cancer risk, and can guide you to appropriate management of those risks. To determine if a cancer risk assessment is right for you, we have developed the following guidelines:
You might be at an increased risk for cancer if you or your family has a history of:
- Cancer diagnosed under 50 years of age
- More than one cancer in the same person
- Three or more relatives with the same type of cancer
- Male breast cancer
- Rare cancers
- Breast and ovarian cancer in close family members
- Colon cancer and uterine cancer in close family members
- Breast or ovarian cancer and a Jewish background
