Family Risk Assessment Program

A joint venture between The Reading Hospital Regional Cancer Center and the Fox Chase Cancer Center, the Family Risk Assessment Program (FRAP) is geared toward evaluating a woman’s risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer as a result of heredity or family history.

Women interested in participating in the Family Risk Assessment Program attend a two-hour education session on cancer and risk assessment. Following the session, those who wish to join the program provide their family histories for a cancer research registry, which is updated yearly.
Participants receive personalized assessments and also may have access to new research options and testing methods. To participate in the Family Risk Assessment Program, you must be at least 20 years of age, have at least one immediate family member (mother, daughter, or sister), or two second degree relatives (aunts and/or grandmother) on the same side of the family, with breast or ovarian cancer, or have a diagnosis of ovarian cancer with or without a family history.
