Who to refer to a cancer genetics clinic?
Risk Assessment for breast cancer of genetic origin: Family history Breast cancer diagnosed before age 50 years or ovarian cancer at any age First or second degree relatives diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50 years or diagnosis of ovarian cancer at any age Bilateral breast cancers in the family Breast and ovarian cancer in the same family or same woman Cases of male breast cancer in the family Cancer in a very young age Proven BRCA1/2-mutation in the family Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity Two or more types of BRCA1 or BRCA2-related cancers in a single family member Triple negative breast cancer under age 60 years
Associated cancers BRCA1 BRCA2 Breast cancer 65-87% - Bilateral breast cancer up to 60% Breast cancer 40-50% Male breast cancer Ovarian cancer/cancer of the Fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer 40% Ovarian cancer about 10% Colon Pancreatic cancer Gallbladder cancer Gastric cancer Prostate cancer Melanoma

Genetic Testing Blood sample Costs: reimbursement from health insurance, previous Kostengutsprache recommendable Costs of a complete analysis of the BRCA1/2 Gene 4 300. Costs of the analysis of a known mutation276. Laboratories in Switzerland: University of Geneva KS Aarau Labor Genetica Zürich Duration of analysis: about two weeks
How to counsel patients with a positive result?
A deleterious BRCA- Mutation found The risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer is significantly increased Risk reducing procedures has to be discussed: Risk adapted surveillance program Prophylactic surgery Chemoprevention Other family members can be tested
Surveillance of BRCA1/2 positive patients Examination Frequency Start with Breast self examination monthly 18 years Breast ultrasound Every 6 month 25 years MRI of the breast yearly 25 years Mammography yearly, alternating with 30 years MRI Gynecological Every 6 month examination with vaginal ultrasound and Ca125 examination 30 years Coloscopie 50 years Every 5 to 10 years
Cancer risk reduction methods
Prophylactic mastectomy for prevention of breast cancer (2010) 39 observational studies were included, data on 7384 women No randomized trials Reduction of breast cancer and/or disease specific mortality after bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (BPM) particularly for those with BRCA1/2- mutation CPM reduces the incidence of contralateral breast cancer, but the data were inconsistent about improvement in disease specific survival Psychological measures: high levels of satisfaction with the decision, but less with the cosmetic results, less worries over breast cancer after BPM
Prophylactic mastectomy for for prevention of breast cancer (2010) Authors summary: Women should be aware of their true risk developing breast cancer and the limitation of current evidence when considering prophylactic mastectomy The studies have methodological limitations Many additional surgeries needed Less cancer worries, but they may overestimate their cancer risk Insufficient evidence for improvement of survival with CPM

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network: Guideline (2013) Discuss risk-reducing mastectomy and recommend risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, ideally between 35 and 40 years of age, and upon completion of child bearing, or individualized based on earliest age of onset of ovarian cancer in the family

ASCO Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Guideline Update Visvanathan, JCO, 2013 Risk reduction for BRCA1 and 2 Mutation carriers: There are insufficient data on efficacy of Tamoxifen for breast cancer risk reduction in BRCA1 and 2 mutation carriers to give reliable estimates of their effect in this setting. The 2009 guideline describes the finding from phase III randomized trials of Tamoxifen use and breast cancer incidence among women with inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. To date, there are no data from phase III randomized trials on the preventive effect of Raloxifen an AI s especially in BRCA1 and 2 mutation carriers
How to counsel patients with a negative result?
No deleterious BRCA-Mutation was found Known BRCA- Mutation in the family: The breast and ovarian cancer risk is not increased and is equal to the general population no special surveillance is needed No known BRCA- Mutation in the family: The breast and ovarian cancer risk is significantly decreased A genetic risk can not be excluded The further recommendations are according the the personal and familiar history
Take Home Message Only a small number of our breast cancer patients have a genetic risk The family history should have a specific pattern Woman with a possibly genetic cancer risk should be identified and referred for genetic counseling Genetic testing and recommendation for risk adapted surveillance according to the specific situation Discussion of other risk reducing strategies in patients with a proven BRCA-mutation Internet based tools can help us
We are able to identify a genetic cancer risk and can prevent cancer!
