ABSTRACT
A young BRCA-1 positive woman turned out to have advanced stage ovarian cancer despite an ensuring check-up 4 months earlier. Much remains unknown regarding the efficacy of screening programs, when applied to individuals predisposed for an inherited malignancy. Therefore, vigilance is mandatory when dealing with women with a positive family history of mammarian and/or ovarian cancer.
