Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess knowledge of genetic cancer risk among Mexican carriers of cancer-associated pathogenic variants (PVs) using the Spanish version of the KnowGene Cancer Genetics Questionnaire, and to examine whether knowledge is associated with uptake of risk-reducing surgery (RRS) or cascade testing (CT). METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of adult PV carriers who had received post-test genetic...
