Inherited genetic mutations contribute significantly to the onset of some cancers. Over 50 hereditary cancer predisposition genes have been identified by researchers, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes which are associated with breast and ovarian cancers. Testing for these genes can be a powerful tool in assessing individual cancer risk and creating robust medical plans, but this can also be a complex process, with personal and familial factors carrying real emotional weight. As such, genetic counseling for patients and their families before and during the process of genetic testing can be critical.

This updated and reorganized edition provides detailed information designed to be incorporated in a variety of clinical and health-care contexts.
