What this Trial Is About
The investigators hypothesize that preconception and pregnancy may be a feasible and effective time to offer inherited cancer risk screening. This study will assess interest in cancer genetic testing among patients receiving routine prenatal care or preconception care. The goal is to evaluate the acceptability of hereditary cancer testing when offered alongside standard prenatal genetic screening. The study will also explore whether universal screening in this population could support early cancer prevention
