ABSTRACT

Background: Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease with a significant genetic component, particularly related to BRCA1/2 mutations, which markedly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. The identification of a pathogenic variants carries clinical, preventive, and psychological implications, that extend to family members. Oncogenetic counseling plays a central role in identifying at-risk individuals, guiding decision-making, and supporting psychological well-being. This article explores the communication of the diagnosis within families, coping with cancer risk, and fertility management in young women. var modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); // Get the button that opens the modal var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn"); // Get the element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]; // When the user clicks the button, open the modal btn.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "block"; } // When the user clicks on (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "none"; } // When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = "none"; } }
