Abstract
Providers who care for women at risk for hereditary gynecologic cancers must consider the impact of these conditions on reproductive and hormonal health. This document reviews potential options for cancer prevention, family building, genetic testing and management of surgical menopause in this patient population. Capsule: Women predisposed to hereditary gynecologic cancer have options for fertility preservation, preimplantation genetic testing to select embryos without pathogenic variants, pregnancy through gestational carriers after hysterectomy and hormone replacement.
