Does and should breast cancer genetic counselling include lifestyle advice?

abstract：:Inherited colorectal cancer predisposition involves a rather heterogeneous range of rare, yet relatively well-defined disorders, including Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Juvenile Polyposis, and their respective variant...
