on session. Based on the results of the test, those with a gene mutation -- and a higher risk of cancer -- discuss options for next steps.

3. Know the benefits and risks associated with genetic testing.
Being an educated patient can help you to make informed decisions that will impact you and your family. Some benefits and risks associated with genetic testing, include:

-- Benefits: Relief of uncertainty, understand cancer risk, make informed medical and lifestyle decisions, and provide helpful information to other family members.
-- Risks: Difficulty coping with known cancer risk, impact on family and personal relationships, and concern about the privacy of results.

4. Educate family members.
If you have a family history of cancer, tell your family members about genetic testing. People found to have a gene mutation have multiple options for disease prevention that could save their lives. Remember, the testing may find that they do not have a mutated gene, and can give peace of mind.
