Factors Associated With Inaccurate Recall of Inherited Cancer Genetic Test Results Among Individuals With Germline Pathogenic Variants.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Germline pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants (GPV) in cancer susceptibility genes may guide medical care. However, inaccurate recall of test results by patients may impact the uptake of appropriate medical care, underscoring the importance of accurate recall of results. METHODS: Among individuals with a confirmed cancer susceptibility GPV that alters cancer risk management, individuals were...
