This updated and reorganized edition provides detailed information designed to be incorporated in a variety of clinical and health-care contexts. Updated with the latest guidance and research, it promises to continue as the indispensable guide to this challenging subject.; Readers of the fourth edition of Counseling about Cancer will also find:; New chapters analyzing pediatric cancer syndromes, genetic testing technology, and more; Increased focus on gynecological cancer syndromes and related genes; Detailed case studies to reinforce themes of each chapter; Counseling about Cancer is a useful reference for genetic counselors and other healthcare providers looking to familiarize themselves with best practices of patient counseling and care." --publisher
