H. Res. 1522 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 15, 2010. 
Whereas it is estimated that 750,000 people in the United 
States carry a gene mutation that causes a predisposition 
to breast and ovarian cancer; 
Whereas approximately 5 to 7 percent of breast cancer and 
10 to 14 percent of ovarian cancers are hereditary; 
Whereas women with these mutations have up to an 84 per-
cent chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime; 
Whereas women with a BRCA genetic mutation have up to 
a 50 percent lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer; 
Whereas the single greatest ovarian cancer risk factor is a 
family history of the disease; 
Whereas hereditary cancers are often more aggressive than 
other cancers and occur at a younger age, when people 
are less likely to undergo cancer screening; 
Whereas breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death 
in women under the age of 54; 
Whereas ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecologic 
cancer death; 
Whereas individuals with a hereditary risk for cancer require 
different cancer screening and risk management rec-
ommendations than the general population;
•HRES 1522 EH 
Whereas inherited BRCA genetic mutations are found in ap-
proximately 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews and mutations have 
been found in people of every ethnic group; 
Whereas more than one-third of Jewish women diagnosed 
with ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer at any 
age, or breast cancer before age 40, carry an inherited 
BRCA mutation; 
Whereas African-Americans and Hispanic Americans are less 
likely to have access to hereditary cancer information and 
appropriate health care; 
Whereas children of parents with an inherited predisposition 
to breast and ovarian cancer have a 50 percent chance 
of inheriting the predisposition; 
Whereas among many in the cancer community, a ‘‘previvor’’ 
is a survivor of a predisposition (or increased risk) to 
cancer; 
Whereas genetic counseling and genetic testing can determine 
if an individual is at high risk for breast or ovarian can-
cer; 
Whereas raising awareness of hereditary cancer and knowl-
edge of a genetic predisposition can directly lead to pre-
ventive strategies that can reduce the chance of dying 
from cancer; 
Whereas the last week of September would be an appropriate 
week to designate as National Hereditary Breast and 
Ovarian Cancer Week; and 
Whereas the last Wednesday in September would be an ap-
propriate date to designate as National Previvor Day: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 1522 EH 
(1) supports the designation of National Hereditary 
Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week; and 
(2) supports the designation of National Previvor 
Day.
