Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice

期刊简介：Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice is an open access journal that publishes articles of interest for the cancer genetics community and serves as a discussion forum for the development appropriate healthcare strategies.Cancer genetics encompasses a wide variety of disciplines and knowledge in the field is rapidly growing, especially as the amount of information linking genetic differences to inherited cancer predispositions continues expanding. With the increased knowledge of genetic variability and how this relates to cancer risk there is a growing demand not only to disseminate this information into clinical practice but also to enable competent debate concerning how such information is managed and what it implies for patient care.Topics covered by the journal include but are not limited to:Original research articles on any aspect of inherited predispositions to cancer.Reviews of inherited cancer predispositions.Application of molecular and cytogenetic analysis to clinical decision making.Clinical aspects of the management of hereditary cancers.Genetic counselling issues associated with cancer genetics.The role of registries in improving health care of patients with an inherited predisposition to cancer.

【译文】《临床遗传性癌症》是一本开放获取期刊，发表对癌症遗传学社区感兴趣的论文，并作为讨论适当医疗保健策略的论坛。癌症遗传学涵盖了许多学科，该领域的知识正在迅速增长，尤其是随着将遗传差异与遗传性癌症易感性联系起来的信息量不断增加。随着对遗传变异及其与癌症风险关系的了解加深，对将此类信息传播到临床实践的需求不断增长，同时也需要能够就如何管理此类信息及其对病人护理的含义进行有能力的辩论。该期刊涵盖的主题包括但不限于：关于遗传性癌症易感性的任何方面的原创研究文章、遗传性癌症易感性的综述、将分子和细胞遗传学分析应用于临床决策、遗传性癌症管理的临床方面、与癌症遗传学相关的遗传咨询问题以及登记处在改善具有遗传性癌症易感性的病人保健中的作用。
