Background: Addressing the increasing incidence of skin cancer among young adults is a priority. The objective of the Risk Information and Skin-cancer Education for Undergraduate Prevention (RISE-UP) study is to identify personalized intervention components to prevent sunburn, a clinically significant outcome highly associated with skin cancer, in college students.
Methods: Guided by the Elaboration Likelihood Model, the study will use Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) methodology to test three intervention components (ultraviolet photography, MC1R genetic testing, and action planning) each with two levels (yes v.
Wilms tumors are commonly associated with predisposition syndromes. Many of these syndromes are associated with specific phenotypic features and are discussed in the related article from the AACR Pediatric Cancer Working Group. Guidelines for surveillance in this population were published in 2017, but since then several studies have identified new genes with recurrent pathogenic variants associated with increased risk for Wilms tumor development.

Methods: We analyzed 6673 female patients aged 40 or older at increased inherited cancer risk in 2 large health care systems (NYU Langone Health [NYULH] and the University of Utah Health [UHealth]). Multinomial models were used to identify predictors of mammogram screening groups (non-adherent, pre-pandemic adherent, pandemic period adherent) in comparison to adherent females.
Article Synopsis
- - Wilms tumors are linked to various predisposition syndromes, many of which involve overgrowth and an increased risk for other cancers like hepatoblastoma.
- - In 2017, surveillance guidelines for patients at risk for Wilms tumors were established, and the AACR Pediatric Cancer Working Group recently updated these guidelines based on new research and risk data.
- - The update aims to inform healthcare professionals—including pediatric oncologists and geneticists—about revised diagnostic criteria and to standardize surveillance recommendations in North America and Australia for patients with relevant syndromes.
Women's preferences for genetic screening in routine care: A qualitative study.
Patient Educ Couns
January 2025
Objective: Examine decision-making regarding when women would prefer to receive reproductive carrier and cancer predisposition screening and from what clinician.
Methods: 20 women completed in-depth interviews via Zoom exploring their views on the provision of reproductive carrier and cancer predisposition screening. Our analysis identified themes related to what informs women's preferences for when they would like to receive a genetic screening offer and by which clinician.
