Telephone Delivery of BRCA Genetic Counseling

Video

This video explores a study that found telephone-based genetic counseling for women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers was noninferior to in-person counseling, with no significant adverse effects on long-term outcomes.

A recent study found that use of telephone-based genetic counseling for women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers was noninferior to in-person counseling, with no significant adverse effects on long-term outcomes.

In this video, lead study author Anita Y. Kinney, PhD, RN, of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, discusses the results of the study. Click here to read more.
