LEARN MORE NEXT STEPS ALREADY TESTED

Ask Your Doctor

BRACAnalysis® is not appropriate for everyone who has a family history of cancer. Look for Red Flags in your family history to learn if you should consider testing.

The first step is to discuss your concerns with your doctor, genetic counselor, or other healthcare professional. Your personal and family history will be carefully evaluated. Through discussions you can find out the benefits and limitations of the test. If you don't have a doctor to consult, use our find a doctor resource to identify a provider in your area to review your personal and family history and discuss your options.

Be ready to discuss HBOC

  • Gather a complete family history (both your mother's and father's side) using the My Family History tool
  • Take and print out the Red Flag quiz to show your doctor
  • Consider how positive or negative results might guide you and your family's healthcare decisions
