Direct letters to relatives at risk of hereditary cancer – study protocol for a multi-centre randomised controlled trial of healthcare-assisted versus family-mediated risk disclosure at Swedish cancer genetics clinics (DIRECT-study)

2023-04-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: The results of genetic investigation for hereditary cancer are of importance to the individual patients, but also to their genetic at-risk relatives. Standard care is to encourage the proband (first family member under investigation) to pass on this risk information to the relatives. Previous research suggests that with family-mediated disclosure only about a third of at-ris...
