Besides the BRCA genes, what else to consider in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer? Laurie M. Connors DNP, APNG, FNP-BC, AGN-BC Objectives Evaluate personal & family history to assess risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes (HBOC) Explore current methods of clinical genetic testing for HBOC Consider the ethical, legal and social implications of clinical cancer genetics & personalized healthcare Family Assessment Comprehensive Family History Important Inexpensive Underutilized genetic tool Maradiegue, A., Edwards, O.T., Seibert, D., Macri, C., & Sitzer, L.

Testing Criteria for BRCA1/ Decision Making -Right-time Personal history of breast cancer and diagnosed <45 years Diagnosed <50 years with an additional breast primary > 1 close blood relative with breast cancer at any age 1 close blood relative with pancreatic cancer > 1 close blood relative with prostate cancer (Gleason >7) unknown or limited family history Personal history of ovarian cancer Personal history of male breast cancer Describe how women construct the right time to consider risk-reduction surgery. Elapsed time between test disclosure and receipt of surgery ranged from 3 months to 9 years. Need to provide short-term and long-term follow-up contact and information to guide decision making. NCCN Guidelines in Oncology Genetic/Familial High-Risk Assessment: Breast and Ovarian, Version 2.2016 Howard, A.F., Bottorff, J.L., Balneaves, L.G., & Kim-Sing, C. (2010). Women s construction of the right time to consider decisions about risk-reducing mastectomy and risk-reducing oophorectomy. BMC Women s Health, 10 (24), 1-12. Decisional Conflict Occurs when there is discordance with the presented options and the women s values causing additional stress during a period of transition. Competing alternative options. Multi-Gene Testing Options Patients who are eligible for genetic testing can have all cancer related genes tested for initially Now this can be done upfront along with BRCA testing, with less cost, less time and more answers Next Generation Sequencing sequence multiple genes simultaneously Pierce, P.F.
