What is the Role of Gynecologists in Managing HBOC?
Gynecologists play a crucial role in the identification and management of HBOC. They are often the first to recognize patterns in family history that suggest a genetic predisposition. Gynecologists can facilitate genetic counseling and testing, provide enhanced screening, and discuss risk-reducing strategies with their patients. They also play a vital role in ongoing surveillance and management of individuals with HBOC.
