care providers screen women who have family members with breast, ovarian, tubal, or
peritoneal cancer with one of several screening tools designed to identify a family
history that may be associated with an increased risk for potentially harmful mutations in
breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1 or BRCA2). Women with positive screening
results should receive genetic counseling and, if indicated after counseling, BRCA

clinicians engage in shared, informed decisionmaking with women who are at increased
