Systematic Review of the Social, Ethical, and Legal Dimensions of Genetic Cancer Risk Assessment Technologies
Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) HTA Report.
In this systematic review, we have critically reviewed the literature addressing the social, legal and ethical issues related to genetic testing for cancer susceptibility, synthesized current information and identified existing gaps in knowledge. We believe the review will prove valuable to policy- and decision-makers faced with integrating these technologies into the health care system.
NOTE: In 2006 the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research HTA unit moved to IHE. Documents produced in and prior to 2006 have different formats; the format was determined by the agency for which the document was produced.
