Handbook of Clinical Cancer Genetics
Matloff
Genetic testing and counseling for cancer have
made great strides in recent years. The popular
demand for advanced screening, advances in
testing, and the response of insurance
companies and corporations have all served to
shape this important area of cancer risk
management. This practical, user-friendly
guidebook allows you to search by disease site
for the hereditary cancer syndromes relevant to
your patient’s cancer. This handy resource will
help you formulate questions when expanding
that patient’s personal and family history, identify the genes that are
most relevant, determine whether to refer that patient for genetic
counseling and testing, and guide the patient’s long-term management
based on the patient’s mutation-positive or -negative status. The
guidebook will be of equal value to the practicing oncologist, surgeon,
urologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist, primary care physician,
physician’s assistant, advanced practice nurse, and any other clinician
counseling a patient who has had cancer.
Features:
Informative overview summarizes the history and current state of
▶
▶
genetic cancer testing.
Site-specific chapters help you locate essential facts quickly.
▶
▶
Expert contributors share their years of experience in genetic testing
▶
▶
and counseling.
Timely insights address key medical, ethical, legal, and financial
▶
▶
implications of genetic cancer testing.
