In my editorial in Journal of Clinical Oncology,¹ I asked about which genetic testing problem we are trying to solve. Is it that “large numbers of women have had undue levels of stress and anxiety, have not received proper informed consent, or have been managed inappropriately because they were tested by someone other than a genetic counselor” or that “hundreds of thousands of mutation carriers are still unaware of their status and will develop cancers that could have been prevented or found earlier”?

在我的《临床肿瘤学杂志》（Journal of Clinical Oncology）^1的社论中，我询问了我们要解决的基因检测问题。是“大量妇女承受过分的压力和焦虑，没有得到适当的知情同意，还是由于接受了基因顾问以外的其他人的测试而进行了不适当的治疗”还是“成千上万的突变携带者”仍不了解其状况，会发展出本来可以预防或更早发现的癌症”吗？
