FACET - European Journal of Cancer Care March 2004 Genetics of colorectal cancer(continued) • Screening by genetic testing • Genetic counselling • The role of genetic testing in patients with suspected hereditary colorectal cancer is to: • Determine if affected patient is carrier of germ-line mutation of one of the colorectal genes • Allow screening of other family members through genetic testing alone Slide Sixteen *Click on “View”; “Notes Page” for explanatory notes slides available at: www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/ecc
FACET - European Journal of Cancer Care March 2004 Genetics of colorectal cancer(continued) • Conclusion • Evidence that screening affects mortality is sparse • Further research • Need for clear referral criteria Slide Seventeen *Click on “View”; “Notes Page” for explanatory notes slides available at: www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/ecc
