Who should have a
Hereditary Cancer Risk Assessment?
• A person having two or more close relatives on the same side of the family with the same or
related cancers, especially if the cancer occurred before age 50.
• A person who either has cancer before the age of 50, who has more than one kind of cancer,
or who has a close family member with the above.
• A person from a family that is known to have a inherited cancer syndrome.
• A person with a rare cancer; for example, breast cancer in a man or a person with an adrenal
gland tumor, cancer of the uterus, stomach or thyriod.
• A person who is very anxious about their risk based on their family history.
If you are concerned about your hereditary cancer risk, please ask your health care provider
about the HOPES program and make arrangements to speak to a genetic expert today.
