Seminars in oncology nursing - 1 Apr 2026

Gould Danielle, Walker Rae, Makari-Judson Grace, Seven Memnun

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The use of multigene panel testing to identify hereditary cancer susceptibility has led to a growing number of individuals receiving a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) result. This qualitative study aimed to describe the experiences of individuals with a VUS, with a focus on their communication with healthcare providers (HCPs) and family members. METHODS: This study employed a constructivist...
