Addressing cancer family history at the end of life : how frequent, relevant, and feasible is it?: a survey of palliative care providers

Cancer family history is not systematically assessed during the cancer care trajectory. Palliative care may emerge as the last opportunity for health professionals to collect, from dying cancer patients, family history and biological samples that could inform relatives’ cancer risk assessment and management. At-risk relatives can then be offered genetic counseling and testing and preventive strategies if needed. Discussions on cancer heritability between patients, family members, and providers may become more frequent in palliative care due to increasing public awareness about advances in genomics and risks associated with a cancer family history.
