Genetic Testing for Rare Cancer: The Wider Issues.

Abstract: Identification of a potential genetic susceptibility to cancer and confirmation of a pathogenic gene mutation raises a number of challenging issues for the patient with cancer, their relatives and the health professionals caring for them. The specific risks and management issues associated with rare cancer types have been addressed in the earlier chapters. This chapter considers the wider issues involved in genetic counselling and genetic testing for a genetic susceptibility to cancer for patients, families and health professionals. The first part of the chapter will present the issues raised by the current practice in genetic counselling and genetic testing for cancer susceptibility. The second part of the chapter will address some of the issues raised by the advances in genetic testing technology and the future opportunities provided by personalised medicine and targeted cancer therapy. Facilitating these developments requires closer integration of genomics into mainstream cancer care, challenging the existing paradigm of genetic medicine, adding additional layers of complexity to the risk assessment and management of cancer and presenting wider issues for patients, families, health professionals and clinical services.

Multidisciplinary approach to the management of adult eosinophilic oesophagitis in the United Kingdom.

Abstract: Dietary intervention is effective for the management of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) in both adults and children [1]. The majority of research has been conducted in Spain or the United States [1], with no studies of dietary intervention published in the United Kingdom. Restrictive elimination diets can be challenging and swallowed topical corticosteroids have also been shown to be an effective treatment in adults This article is protected by copyright.

The Big 3

Abstract: Some years ago, I published a booklet called ‘The Big 3’. This was a clinical summary of three conditions: lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome and Hughes syndrome. In the following 15 years, although little has changed in terms of the clinical descriptions, one thing has changed significantly: clinical recognition of ‘The Big 3’. Whereas, 25 years ago all three conditions were regarded as rare and ‘small print’ affairs, they are now diagnosed and treated in increasing numbers, not only in general practice here in the UK, but in reports from centres around the world. In this Special Issue for the Royal College of General Practitioners, dealing with ‘connective tissue’ diseases, the emphasis will be focussed on diagnosis and management. This introductory chapter takes an anecdotal, mainly clinical look at Lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome and Hughes syndrome, hopefully serving as an introduction to the more detailed chapters that follow in this Special Issue.
