The Human Genome Project has far-reaching implications for the entire spectrum of cancer care. An understanding of fundamental gene biology clarifies the role of genetics in cancer causation. The scientific advances of genetic screening for cancers have also given rise to problems such as employment and insurance discrimination, adverse psychosocial effects, and the ethical dilemma of "to screen or not to screen."
人类基因组计划对整个癌症护理领域具有深远影响。对基础基因生物学的理解阐明了遗传学在癌症病因中的作用。癌症基因筛查的科学进展也引发了诸如就业和保险歧视、不良心理社会影响以及“筛查与否”的伦理困境等问题。
