Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome is a syndrome that increases the risk of certain types of cancer and that begins at a younger age than the average age of cancer in the population. People with HBOC syndrome have a higher risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers.

Genetic tests analyze cancer samples to see how genes are active. The activity level of these genes affects the behavior of the cancer, including how it grows and spreads. Genetic tests are used to decide whether treatments after surgery will be beneficial. They can help predict the chance of early-stage breast cancer coming back.

Breast cancer can recur at any time, recur locally, regionally or metastasize to lymph nodes, bones, liver, brain, lungs,... When breast cancer recurs and metastasizes, the treatment treatment becomes more difficult.
