Families, systems & health : the journal of collaborative family healthcare - 1 Mar 2012

Hoskins Lindsey M, Roy Kevin M, Greene Mark H

Abstract excerpt

The quantitative risk of cancer among BRCA1/2 gene mutation carriers is generally well-understood, and can be communicated clearly to potential and known mutation carriers during the genetic risk assessment, education, and testing process. The extent to which individual mutation carriers feel vulnerable to cancer is a more complex dynamic with a powerful effect on risk-management decision-making; however, these...
