Variations in care for hereditary cancer syndrome families: direct and indirect socio-economic impacts
The purpose of this study is to assess the indirect impacts of hereditary cancer care to the patient across different provinces with varying care systems, populations, and genomic testing technologies. Researchers will be using a survey to understand the indirect burdens of living with a hereditary cancer, and are looking for adults (18+) with a diagnosis of a hereditary cancer syndrome who receive care in Canada to take a 30 minute anonymous survey.
