1.3.3 Family history screening

Family cancer history assessment is appropriate for women who have:

  • two or more first- or second-degree relatives diagnosed with endometrial or colorectal cancers, if one of the relatives received their diagnosis under the age of 50
  • three or more first- or second-degree relatives with Lynch syndrome–associated cancer, (e.g. adenocarcinoma of the colorectum, endometrium, small intestine, stomach, ovary or pancreas), urothelial carcinoma of the ureter or renal pelvis, cholangiocarcinoma, brain tumour or sebaceous gland tumour (eviQ 2019a).
