The evidence that genetic factors are of some importance in the etiology of cancer originates has been determined by genetic epidemiology, molecular biology, cytogenetics. Genetic counselling is one of the possible strategies for controlling cancer through genetics. Genetic counselling in this field more often concerns the family of the affected individual than the individual himself. Its aim is to develop a family oriented preventive medicine.
遗传因素在癌症病因学中具有一定重要性这一证据源自遗传流行病学、分子生物学和细胞遗传学。遗传咨询是通过遗传学控制癌症的可能策略之一。该领域的遗传咨询更多涉及受影响个体的家族而非个体本身。其目的是发展以家庭为导向的预防医学。
