Abstract
Hereditary cancer has been a long-standing research field, but recent advances in technology have allowed for extensive gene expression analysis, offering results for large populations. The growing volume of data presents an advantage in the validity of conclusions, but on the other hand is accompanied by new dilemmas and questions on data interpretation. However, despite increasing availability of gene testing globally, hereditary cancer still remains a rare event. The majority of cancer cases are sporadic, without any correlation with known pathogenic gene mutations. Gradually, the ratio of hereditary to sporadic cancers is expected to increase, as more patients are tested and more mutations are registered as pathogenic. The chapter summarizes the main hereditary syndromes related with gynaecological cancer along with current implications and innovations in clinical practice.
