Yes, men can also use this app. Despite breast cancer being much rarer among men than women, men are also at risk of the disease, especially if there is a breast cancer hereditary syndrome in the family.
Include only biological relationships (those of the same blood), not adoptive children/ grandchildren, in the questionnaire.
For now just fill the information on full siblings (those that have the same mother and father). There will be a section on half-siblings, since on a genetic tree these are 2nd degree relatives.
The data you enter will be erased as soon as the application is finished. There will be no record of data.

Do you have cases of colorectal cancer in your family?

 

IF YOU HAVE RELATIVES WITH THE DISEASE:

Build your family tree and add your relatives’ disease information, to obtain your family history of colorectal cancer. Any tree, suggesting a familial risk of disease, should always be given to your doctor or geneticist for analysis.



IF YOU DO NOT HAVE RELATIVES WITH THE DISEASE:

This application is not for you.



IF YOU HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY COLORECTAL CANCER:

  • > At an early age (before the age of 50)
  • > In simultaneous with other cancers

 

See your doctor or geneticist to discard the
possibility of a genetic abnormality (a mutation)
that can be transmitted to the next generation
(initiating a history of hereditary colorectal cancer).

Building your Family History


IN A GENETIC ANALYSIS, FAMILY HISTORY SHOULD ALWAYS START WITH YOU, AND THEN MOVE TO YOUR RELATIVES.


Concerning your family members, always consider first those closer to you. This means:
1. Start with first-degree relatives (parents, children, and siblings);
2. Then those in second-degree (grandparents, uncles/aunts, grandchildren and nephews/nieces);
3. And finally, third-degree relatives.

In this app, the family tree goes up to 2nd-degree relatives.
