Article Synopsis
- Multi-gene hereditary cancer screenings can enhance prevention and treatment for patients and their families, but require integration into various cancer care settings to ensure diverse communities benefit.
- A survey of 230 diverse cancer patients revealed a strong intent to share genetic results with family, but this intent varied; patients were more likely to disclose to sisters than brothers, and many were uncertain about sharing with at-risk relatives.
- Recognizing the factors influencing sharing decisions among patients can help clinicians improve genetic screening support and address disparities in cancer care.
