Are we ready to screen for inherited susceptibility to cancer?

Oncology (Williston Park, N.Y.) - 1 Jan 1996

Holtzman N A

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of inherited gene mutations that increase the risk of certain cancers could greatly expand the use of predictive genetic testing in healthy individuals. In families with hereditary forms of cancer, the use of genetic tests to determine whether family members have inherited susceptibility mutations (ISMs) may improve outcome. Even within high-risk families, questions remain about the role of other...
