ABSTRACT = {Prostate cancer has a substantial heritable component, 
which is often under-appreciated in the urologic community. 
Inherited prostate cancer which may account for up to 10% 
of cases has been associated with genetic mutations which 
are also linked with other hereditary cancer syndromes. 
Therefore, family history indicating inherited prostate 
cancer predisposition may extend beyond prostate cancer 
to include other cancers such as breast, ovarian and others. 
Genetic counseling and genetic testing guidelines for 
prostate cancer are slowly emerging, which emphasizes the 
need for urologists and other providers involved in the care 
of prostate cancer patients to consider referring appropriate 
prostate cancer patients for genetic counseling. Here we 
will highlight the key elements involved in prostate cancer 
risk assessment, current knowledge of genetic contribution 
to prostate cancer, and factors for urologists and other 
providers to consider when referring prostate cancer 
patients for genetic counseling.},
