Understanding patient and provider perceptions and expectations of genomic medicine

Michael J Hall et al. J Surg Oncol. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Advances in genome sequencing technology have fostered a new era of clinical genomic medicine. Genetic counselors, who have begun to support patients undergoing multi-gene panel testing for hereditary cancer risk, will review brief clinical vignettes, and discuss early experiences with clinical genomic testing. Their experiences will frame a discussion about how current testing may challenge patient understanding and expectations toward the evaluation of cancer risk and downstream preventive behaviors.

Keywords: expectations; genomics; patient; provider.
