Overview
A cancer previvor is a person who is not diagnosed with cancer, but has a survived the predisposition, or higher risk, of cancer due to a certain genetic mutation.[1] As such, this is the first generation in human history who, armed with information about a predisposition to a cancer after opting in to DNA testing, can make drastic choices prior to cancer diagnosis. The typical candidate has learned that she is at high risk for developing breast cancer, in which case, a choice is elective mastectomy, or ovarian cancer, in which case, a choice is elective oopherectomy or hysterectomy.
