What About the Others? Clinical Management of Gynecologic Cancer Risk in Patients With Moderate-Risk Hereditary Cancer Genes ( ATM , BRIP1 , RAD51C , RAD51D , and PALB2 )

Ester I Goldfeld et al. Clin Obstet Gynecol. .

Abstract

Hereditary cancer syndromes associated with gynecologic malignancies account for up to 18% of all cases of ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers, and identification of these syndromes has implications for cancer screening and risk reduction techniques in affected patients. The associated cancer risks with moderate-penetrance genes are rapidly evolving and present variable risks for the provider counseling the patient. In this review, we detail the cancer risk and management of patients with germline PV in the moderate-risk hereditary cancer genes ATM , BRIP1 , RAD51C , RAD51D , and PALB2 .
