GENETIC COUNSELING AND TESTING FOR CANCER Kayla York, MS, LCGC Licensed Genetic Counselor Avera Cancer Institute Outline Genetic Counseling Cancer Genetics Breast/Ovarian Cancer Colon/Endometrial Cancer Summary Genetic Counseling Genetic Counseling Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. Genetic counseling is the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. This process integrates: Interpretation of family and medical histories to assess the chance of disease occurrence or recurrence. Education about inheritance, testing, management, prevention, resources and research. Counseling to promote informed choices and adaptation to the risk or condition. National Society of Genetic Counselors, 2005 Genetic Counseling Cancer Genetic Counseling Educate patients and their families as well as provide emotional support: Cancer risks Options for genetic testing Options for cancer screening Genetic Counseling Initial Visit Personal History Family History (both mother’s and father’s side) Risk Assessment Discussion of genetics and specific genes Discussion of possible test results Discussion of impact of genetic testing Insurance/GINA Arrange testing as needed Result Disclosure Follow-up visits as needed Cancer Genetics Cancer Genetics Cancer Genetics Cancer Genetics Cancer Genetics High Risk Genes Low Risk Genes Sporadic Lifestyle and Environment Lifestyle and Environment Lifestyle and Environment Genetics Genetics Cancer Genetics Cluster of specific types of cancers/ same cancer Young ages at diagnosis Individuals with multiple or bilateral cancers Rare cancers Pattern of inheritance in the family Certain ethnic groups have higher frequencies of specific genetic disorders Cancer Genetics BRCA1/BRCA2: Breast and Ovarian Lynch Syndrome: Colorectal, Endometrial, GI Other Syndromes Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP): Colon polyps, Colorectal, Stomach and Pancreatic MEN1: Parathyroid, pituitary, pancreas MEN2: Medullary thyroid Cancer Li Fraumeni Syndrome (Tp53): soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, breast cancer, brain tumors, adrenocortical carcinoma RET: Medullary thyroid, pheochromocytomas, parathyroid adenomas Cowden Syndrome (PTEN): Breast cancer, uterine cancer, thyroid cancer, benign findings (colon polyps, thyroid nodules, macrocephaly, etc) Peutz Jeghers Syndrome (STK11): Colon polyps, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, germ cell cancers Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer and Lobular breast cancer (CDH1): Gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer MYH- Associated Polyposis: Colon polyps, Colorectal cancer Breast and Ovarian Cancers Breast Cancer Most common cancer in women 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime 1 in 1000 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime 5-10% of all women with breast cancer carry an inherited genetic predisposition 15-20% of all men with breast cancer carry an inherited genetic predisposition Ovarian Cancer Ovarian cancer is the 5th most common cancer for women 1 in 72 women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime Approximately 10- 20% of women with ovarian cancer have an inherited gene predisposition Breast and Ovarian Cancers Risk Factors- Both Age Parity Menarche (≤ 11) Menopause (≥55) Alcohol Weight Physical Activity Family History Risk Factors- Breast Previous chest radiation Hormone Therapy Breast Conditions Atypia/Hyperplasia LCIS Breast Cancer Only a fraction of breast cancers are caused by an inherited gene mutation Breast Cancer High Risk Genes Low Risk Genes Sporadic Lifestyle and Environment Lifestyle and Environment Lifestyle and Environment Genetics Genetics Hereditary Breast Cancer Predisposition Syndromes Family #1 Ovarian 40 Breast 42 Triple Neg Breast 40 Ovarian 50 Breast 38 Cancer Genetics Cluster of specific types of cancers/ same cancer Young ages at diagnosis Individuals with multiple or bilateral cancers Rare cancers Pattern of inheritance in the family Certain ethnic groups have higher frequencies of specific genetic disorders Family #1 German BRCA1 mutation Norwegian German Ashkenazi Jewish Breast 38 Ovarian 48 Breast 42 Triple Neg Breast 40 Ovarian 50 Breast 38 BRCA1 and BRCA2 BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the most common genes that predispose to breast and ovarian cancer when a mutation is present.

They have also been shown to increase the risks for other cancers NCCN Guidelines (2.2016) Annual Mammogram and Breast MRI starting at age 30 or individualized based on family history Prophylactic mastectomy is an option with mutations in PALB2 Discussion of prophylactic bilateral mastectomies for mutations in ATM or CHEK2 is controversial and is based on family history and personal history Hereditary Breast Cancer Predisposition Syndromes Newer Genes: RAD51D BRIP1 RAD51C BARD1 RAD50 FANCC NBN MRE11A These genes are known to have an association with an increased risk for breast and other cancers but they are not as well studied and data is based on a small number of patients. The precise lifetime risks for cancers have not been determined nor have the spectrum of cancers associated with mutations in these genes.

Hampel et al [2005] also reported that in a population-based study of persons with colon cancer, only three of 23 persons with a germline mutation in an MMR gene met the Amsterdam criteria.
