Abstract
PURPOSE
Although risk-reduction interventions for inherited cancer can significantly reduce cancer risk, they may also lead to distressing symptoms. It is not well understood how clinicians support patients in managing such concerns. This scoping review describes nonsurgical, nonpharmacologic interventions for adults with inherited cancer risk who have completed risk reduction.
LITERATURE SEARCH
Five publications were identified following a database review for English-language articles published from 2015 to 2020.
DATA EVALUATION
Sample, content, methods, and outcomes of included interventions are summarized.
RESULTS
The study identified five interventions.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING
Future research should target a broader variety of heritable cancers to identify effective strategies for addressing challenges with risk-reduction interventions for inherited cancer.
