Common hereditary cancers and implications for primary care
No full textThe identification of genes that place individuals at high risk of breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer has greatly advanced our understanding of cancer predisposition over the past decade. This knowledge has received much attention from the media, and referrals to geneticists and surgeons, and requests for genetic testing, have risen. We review the published evidence for the management of people at increased risk of hereditary cancers, to draw attention to areas of uncertainty and to discuss implications for primary care. We focus on common inherited cancers, since they will have the greatest effect on clinical practice over the next decade. Cancer genetics offers a model of how information on the genetics of other common diseases could affect primary care in the future. Strategies to support the integration of genetic medicine in primary care are needed to enable primary-care practitioners to identify individuals at raised genetic risk and to reassure patients for whom genetic testing and increased surveillance offer little benefit
Hereditary cancer – the evidence for current recommended management
No full textThe last decade has witnessed dramatic advances in our understanding of the molecular changes that underlie both the development of sporadic cancers and the inheritance of familial cancers. Several genes that predispose an individual to specific types of cancer have been isolated, providing the opportunity to identify people at high risk of developing cancer. This new knowledge has received considerable attention from the media, and referrals to geneticists, surgeons and oncologists, as well as requests for genetic testing, have risen markedly. However, many uncertainties exist about the clinical value of identifying carriers of mutations in cancer predisposing genes. Here we review the existing evidence concerning the management of people at increased risk of hereditary cancers, and discuss the implications for primary care. We focus on the more common inherited cancer syndromes, since they will have the greatest potential impact on clinical practice over the next decade. Furthermore, they offer a model of how information on the genetics of other cancers and common diseases may affect primary care in the future
