Informational needs of individuals and families with hereditary cancers.
Individuals and families with hereditary cancers have informational needs that differ, depending on the availability of testing for increased hereditary risk and major focus of concern (reproductive decision-making or risk to self). Cancer risk counseling helps individuals understand risk information so they can make decisions appropriate to their lives and value systems.
