Abstract:
Familial ovarian cancer is a subset of ovarian cancer where there appears to be a definable genetic link in families. It accounts for less than 5% of cases of ovarian cancer seen at present. The main genes responsible, BRCA1 and BRCA2, are discussed. Screening and the prophylactic measures for women identified having a genetic trait are discussed.
