Not all cancers need to present in the family in order to suspect hereditary cancer. Early onset of cancer or several instances of the same or genetically related cancer types in a family increase the likelihood that it is hereditary. Women with ovarian cancer or triple negative breast cancer are recommended genetic testing despite a lack of family history.
