title: A model of survivorship in cancer genetic care.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To propose a shift in the paradigm of survivorship in genetic cancer care.
  
  
  METHODS
  Published articles and, studies.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Previous models of survivorship are insufficient to address the evolving needs of patients and families with heritable cancers. The construction of a new model of survivorship is needed to address the unique concerns of individuals who have undergone hereditary cancer risk assessment and counseling.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Health care providers must be familiar with the recommendations for treatment, surveillance, and follow-up care for individuals and families with heritable cancers to maximize their quantity and quality of life.
