摘要
Authors examine the ethical and health policy implications in the Cancer Genetic Studies Consortium projects, which attempt to collect data on the clinical benefits and harms of cancer genetic testing. They suggest that more data are needed on the long-term physical and psychosocial effects of testing and that further examination is needed of the ethical issues raised by testing.
