Hereditary and familial ovarian cancer in southern ontario

Background. Hereditary ovarian cancer may be site specific or may appear in combination with breast cancer or other cancers in a family. The most common hereditary form is the breast‐ovarian cancer syndrome. It is estimated that in 100% of these families, there is linkage to a cancer susceptibility gene on chromosome 17q, BRCAl.
