It is important to detect families with hereditary cancer, because they can take effective prevention measures for better survival. The process of identifying these families with hereditary cancer can be split into three stages: Stage I) Recognition & Referral Stage II) Genetic Testing & Counseling Stage III) Follow-up & Prevention Considering increased demands for cancer genetic services, this genetic diagnostic process has become subject to a variety of innovations. Some were borne from technical advancements, whereas others were meant to achieve more patient-centered health care. The focus of this thesis is the evaluation of patient experiences with these innovations. The goal is to give further insight to health care professionals to provide appropriate support in the context of these new developments and to assess needs for further innovation regarding genetic counseling and clinical follow-up. The results of this thesis show that the evaluated innovations are considered both effective and acceptable by patients, despite concerns to the contrary. Professionals should therefore take care not to assume, but to test their suspicions as scientific hypotheses. Finally, this thesis supports that oncologic care should focus not only on curing those already struck by illness, but also primary prevention (based on genetic and other risk factors) as the most effective way to fight cancer.","Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 23 september 2015","Promotores : Hoogerbrugge-van der Linden, N., Prins, J.B."]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Innovations in genetic testing and counseling: Patient experiences"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Hoogerbrugge-van der Linden, N.","Prins, J.B."],"dc:creator":["Sie, A.S."],"dc:date":["2015"],"dc:description":["Contains fulltext : 142762.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)","Approximately 5 to 10% of all cancers are based on a hereditary predisposition.
