Summary

The investigators hypothesize that pregnancy and preconception care may be a feasible and effective time to offer inherited cancer risk screening. This study will assess interest in cancer genetic testing among patients receiving routine prenatal or preconception/fertility care. The goal is to evaluate the acceptability of BRCA1/2 testing when offered alongside standard prenatal genetic screening. The study will also explore whether universal screening in this population could support early cancer prevention and be cost-effective, especially among underserved populations.
