Abstract
Breast cancer risk has been well-characterized for a number of genetic syndromes including carriers of BRCA1/BRCA2, TP53, and PTEN. This chapter will focus primarily on the risk of developing other malignancies in those individuals or family members with a genetic predisposition to breast cancer. Screening protocols and risk reduction strategies will also be reviewed for individual malignancies where appropriate (Table 10.1).
