Abstract
In this chapter we introduce a 41 years old patient diagnosed with a triple-negative breast cancer and pronounced signs and symptoms of the Flammer Syndrome (FS) phenotype also in the family history. The chapter details on the FS questionnaires with the patient and family members. An interview is provided demonstrating a high level of the health literacy of the patient. However, remarkably little attention has been paid by primary care-givers to the treatment of the FS related complications in the family. Potential links between the FS phenotype and early breast cancer onset is analysed.
