| Sumario: | BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline pathogenic variants are a matter of concern because of their relevance in cancer risk assessment, personalized treatment options, and cancer prevention. Therefore, the study of quality of life (QoL), although complex, has been a challenge for clinical care and research implications for patients and families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). This chapter aims to show the evolution of the evaluation of the QoL study according to the current needs of patients with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. |
