Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The patients with suspected familial/hereditary breast cancers will be offered genetic counselling. Pre-test counseling will involve acquiring detailed family history and offer genetic testing based on criteria suggested by NCCN guidelines for Breast and Ovarian Cancer. We expect to recruit up to 100 patients with the following criteria in 2 years based on our current estimates of patient enrollment. Following is the criteria for our target audience relevant to patients regularly treated at our hospital.

Diagnosed at age =50 y with unknown or limited family history; or a second breast cancer diagnosed at any age; ii. =1 close blood relatives with breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or high-grade (Gleason score =7) or intraductal prostate cancer at any age iii. Diagnosed at age =60 y with triple-negative breast cancer iv. Diagnosed at any age with male breast cancer v. =1 close relatives with breast cancer at age =50 y or ovarian, pancreatic, or metastatic or intraductal prostate cancer at any age; or vi. =2 close relatives with breast or prostate cancer (any grade) at any age. vii.
