Présentation de l'éditeur

Many cancers, both common and rare, are known to have a hereditary predisposition and advances in genetics have clarified the risks and in some cases the mechanisms of cancer developing in an individual. First published in 1998, this important contribution to the literature of cancer genetics covers all the key issues, reviewing both the technology behind genetic risk assessment and the ethical dilemmas it poses. It is divided into two parts. The first deals with ethical, legal and social issues. The second systematically outlines current knowledge of the inheritance patterns of many different cancer types, both from a site-by-site perspective and for special groups. This authoritative volume will be of interest to oncologists, physicians and surgeons in other specialities and to health professionals in the areas of primary care, counselling and cancer risk assessment.

Description

'Outlines succinctly our current knowledge of the inheritance patterns of many different cancer types. Such information needs to be readily available to counsel patients and their families in cancer clinics and increasingly in the primary care setting. This authoritative book will be of great use to all professionals involved in providing cancer care.' Karol Sikora, Imperial College School of Medicine

'Foulkes and Hodgson have assembled a group of visionary contributors who not only portray the state of cancer genetics, but also provide helpful glimpses of the future for clinicians and researchers alike.' Francis S. Collins, National Human Genome Research Institute
