Go back to families of women who died of ovarian cancer and offer BRCA testing
Many women who died of ovarian cancer were never tested for BRCA. Testing their stored tumour samples and contacting their relatives would find carriers before they get cancer.
Traceback programmes retest archived tumour tissue from deceased untested patients and contact relatives; US pilots demonstrate feasibility and ethical acceptability. Propose scaled traceback for ovarian, young-onset breast, and pancreatic cancer cases from the past 15 years.
- Inherited risk is mostly unidentified · Most people who carry a high-risk cancer gene do not know it until they or a relative gets cancer.
