摘要：
Genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk is now available and has the potential to reduce cancer mortality through the targeting of preventive therapies and by motivating behavioural change. However, generating and communicating genetic information can have psychological and social consequences. As testing extends from identifying rare hereditary cancers to testing for common genetic variants that are associated with cancer risk, how do we address these complex problems to maximize the benefits of genetic testing?
