ASCO is committed to ensuring that health care providers who offer cancer genetic testing receive appropriate education and training and that there be appropriate oversight for genetic tests and the laboratories that provide such testing. More research regarding the genetics of cancer and development of genetic tests is also warranted. In addition, ASCO believes that patients’ genetic information and test results should be protected to prevent insurance and employment discrimination. ASCO recommends that genetic testing be offered when: an individual has a strong family history of cancer or early onset of disease; the test can be adequately interpreted; and the results will influence the medical care of the patient or family member. Informed consent, as well as counseling before and after the testing, are critical components of genetic testing.
