Expert Video - What genetic changes increase your risk for ovarian cancer?

Sarah Taylor, MD, a cancer expert from the University of Pittsburgh, describes how the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations can increase the chances of ovarian cancer. She discusses the importance of knowing your family history and the benefits of genetic testing for you and other family members who may be at risk for ovarian cancer or other cancers.
