摘要: PURPOSE: To examine what cancer genetics specialists predict they would do personally if were at 50% risk of carrying a mutation that predisposes to hereditary breast/ovarian (BRCA1/BRCA2) and nonpolyposis colon (HNPCC). METHODS: Questionnaire survey the membership National Society Genetic Counselors (NSGC) Special Interest Group (SIG) in Cancer. RESULTS: Of 296 active members NSGC Cancer-SIG surveyed, 163 (55%) responded. Eighty-five percent predicted had BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation, pursue genetic testing. If tested positive for age 35, 25% prophylactic bilateral mastectomies 68%, oophorectomy. Ninety-one respondents believe testing HNPCC, 17% elect colectomy; 54%, hysterectomy; 52%, oophorectomy mutation. The majority (68%)...
