Abstract

The oncogenetics consultation is intended for individuals with a personal or family history suggesting a hereditary predisposition to cancer, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. Its aim is to assess genetic risk and provide information on appropriate screening, prevention, and recommendations for management. The main indications concern patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Relatives of an individual carrying an identified constitutional pathogenic variant may also benefit from a consultation. The initial consultation consists of collecting the patient's personal and family medical history, establishing a family pedigree, and assessing the relevance of genetic testing. If a hereditary predisposition is suspected, genetic testing is proposed after informed consent is obtained. The results are communicated during a dedicated follow-up consultation. The entire process is based on a personalized assessment designed to support informed decision-making and ensure management tailored to each patient's needs.
