Breast cancer genetic testing: more than a medical management tool.

Clinical journal of oncology nursing - 1 Oct 2015

Schroeder Dawn, Conroy Sherrill A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Knowing whether a harmful hereditary mutation exists in BRCA1 and BRCA2 can enable women to make informed decisions regarding surveillance and surgery options to manage risk.
