Hereditary ovarian cancer
The resources below have been developed to support the implementation of mainstream genetic testing for hereditary ovarian cancer across cancer services in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire. This includes the R207 panel for inherited ovarian cancer (without breast cancer), which now comprises the following genes:
BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, BRIP1, RAD51C, RAD51D
This approach is referred to as Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics (MCG) and enables genetic testing to be offered directly through cancer services.
These materials have been tailored for use within our Trust and the district hospitals we support. They are suitable for completion by any specialist nurse or clinician involved in the care of patients with ovarian cancer.
Please note: Until 1 January 2023, only the R207 Lite panel was available in our region, which did not include RAD51C, RAD51D, or BRIP1.
