Exploring the Emotional and Behavioural Reactions to Receiving Personalised Melanoma Genomic Risk Information: A Qualitative Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Personalised melanoma genomic risk information alongside education and lifestyle counselling is favourably received by people without a personal history and unselected for a family history of melanoma. Participants described increased knowledge and awareness around managing skin cancer risk and improved sun protection and skin-examination behaviours. Any initial feelings of distress usually dissipated over time. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. PMID: 30580464 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
