The implications of genetic susceptibility for the prevention of colorectal cancer: a qualitative study of older adults' understanding.

Community genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Lucke Jayne, Hall Wayne, Ryan Bree, Owen Neville

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether public understandings of inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer may undermine preparedness to respond to preventive messages.
