Ethical Implications of Direct-to-Consumer Hereditary Cancer Tests.

TL;DR: The current state of DTC genetic testing for hereditary cancer susceptibility is outlined, ethical questions related toinformed consent and the disclosure of consumers’ test results are discussed, research needs are outlined, and steps that DTC companies can take to promote informed consent and demonstrate the safe return of results are recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the extent of invasive disease by MRI to enhance the use of minimally invasive techniques in the management of early stage breast carcinoma

TL;DR: MRI avoided underestimation of pathologic size in small lesions, making it a potentially safe means of identifying the target for minimally invasive techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utilization of religious coping strategies among African American women at increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: The results suggest that African American women may be likely to use collaborative strategies to cope with cancer-related stressors and it may be important to discuss utilization of religious coping efforts during genetic counseling with AfricanAmerican women.
