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
