Being proactive

We have created this special section on hereditary ovarian cancer filled with expert knowledge in order to empower women and their families, and help them take informed actions. In the following, you will find additional suggestions for further reading, listening, watching and thought. 

​

In the Downloads section, we will be adding offers little by little to allow you to better assess your own risk. The first and arguably most important element of these downloads is our family tree form. Set aside some time to fill it out. It clearly maps out your family history and is an integral component of the genetic testing procedure. The checklist supplements the family tree. The counseling guidelines integrate both things. In the Recommended reading section, we have put together interesting and scientifically sound Swiss and international publications for further reading. And don’t forget to check out our Spotlight videos. They feature doctors speaking understandably and personally about ovarian cancer symptoms, BRCA1 and BRCA2, early detection, prevention and genetics.
