Attitudes About Childbearing And Fertility In Women Seeking Genetic Testing For Inherited Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndromes (HBOC)


This questionnaire is part of a study at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center. The purpose is to ask women who are seeking genetic testing for HBOC their
viewpoints surrounding fertility, childbearing and parenting, both at the time of testing
and at the time of results disclosure. The aim is to evaluate if the genetics results
disclosure may influence women's views regarding these topics. Researchers hope to use this
information to provide more information to the patient and the caregiver to help both
parties with this very important cancer survivorship issue.


Inclusion Criteria:



1. Women who have been referred to the Clinical Cancer Genetics Program for discussion
of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Syndrome (HBOC).

counseling here at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for HBOC.

3. Participants may or may not have a personal diagnosis of cancer.

5. The participant must be a woman and have reproductive potential which would include
