Important scientific discoveries and ever-changing guidelines for how to identify and manage patients with hereditary cancer syndromes are constantly evolving. This Third Edition of Counseling About Cancer is completely updated and expanded to feature five entirely new chapters on breast cancer, colon cancer, other solid tumors, clients and families, and genetic test results and follow-up. This is the only reference and clinical book on the market for cancer genetics counselors and other healthcare providers who must quickly assimilate complex and ever-changing data on the hereditary risk for cancer.
Katherine Schneider received her Master's Degree in Public Health from Yale University School of Medicine in 1986 and was certified as a genetic counselor by the American Board of Medical Genetics in 1987. She has almost 20 years' experience as a genetic counselor and has been a cancer genetic counselor for the past 13 years.
