Since 2003, genetics and genomics information has led to exciting new diagnostics, prognostics, and treatment options in oncology practice. Profiling of cancers offers providers insight into treatment and prognostic factors. Germline testing provides an individual with information for surveillance or therapy that may help them prevent cancer in their lifetime and options for family members as yet untouched by malignancy. This offers a challenge for oncology nurses and other oncology health care providers to become comfortable with incorporating education about genetics/genomics into their clinical practice and patient education.
自 2003 年以来,遗传学和基因组学信息为肿瘤学实践带来了令人兴奋的新诊断、预后和治疗选择。癌症的分析为提供者提供了治疗和预后因素的深入了解。种系测试为个体提供了可能有助于他们预防一生中癌症的信息以及针对尚未受到恶性肿瘤影响的家庭成员的治疗选择。这对肿瘤护士和其他肿瘤医疗保健提供者提出了挑战,需要他们舒适地将遗传学/基因组学教育纳入其临床实践和患者教育中。
