Genetic testing and tumor surveillance for children with cancer predisposition syndromes.

Current opinion in pediatrics - 1 Feb 2008

Rao Aarati, Rothman Jennifer, Nichols Kim E

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genetic testing for the presence of germline mutations in cancer-predisposing genes can identify individuals at increased cancer risk. For these individuals, the institution of cancer surveillance measures is recommended with the aim of detecting cancers at early and hence more curable stages. While these principles are well established in adults, they are only entering the pediatric arena....
