Familial Risk Assessment – Breast and Ovarian Cancer (FRA-BOC) is an online tool that has been developed for health professionals. The tool:
- provides an estimation of the risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer, based on family history, for unaffected women i.e. those who have not had a diagnosis of breast cancer or epithelial ovarian cancer
- assists health professionals to reassure the majority of women who are at population risk, based on their family history
- identifies women who should be referred to a family cancer clinic for further assessment and advice
- supersedes the 2006 version of the resource Advice about familial aspects of breast cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer: a guide for health professionals
- covers additional family history scenarios not included in the 2006 or 2010 guide
