Quality-of-life implications of risk-reducing cancer surgery.

The British journal of surgery - 1 Jan 2018

Altman A M, Hui J Y C, Tuttle T M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Modern advances in genetic sequencing techniques have allowed for increased availability of genetic testing for hereditary cancer syndromes. Consequently, more people are being identified as mutation carriers and becoming aware of their increased risk of malignancy. Testing is commonplace for many inheritable cancer syndromes, and with that comes the knowledge of being a gene carrier for some...
