    The most common cancers that may, in some cases, be due to an inherited mutation are breast, ovarian, bowel and womb (endometrial) cancer. Genetic tests can identify some of the genes responsible for these cancers. In some cases, other cancers such as prostate, pancreatic and testicular cancer may be caused by an inherited mutation. However, although genes thought to be linked with these cancers have been identified, genetic tests for these cancers have not yet been developed.
