In the next years, dealing with the increasing number and types of genetic test results, including results of panel testing and polygenic risk scores, will be a challenge for counselors and patients. This research will investigate how counselors and patients can benefit most from these new developments.
Risk communication, shared decision making, the use of decision aids, and timely identification of psychosocial problems in those at risk for cancer are central themes within this research line on the “Psychology of Clinical Genetics, specifically in onco-genetics”.
