Adult Cancer Survivorship Referrals For Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing.

183Background: Genetic testing for hereditary cancer syndromes is underutilized among cancer patients. Cancer survivorship clinics may identify individuals at risk for hereditary cancer. We present the number of referrals from George Washington (GW) Adult Cancer Survivorship Clinic (ACS) to the GW Ruth Paul Hereditary Cancer Program (RPHCP) to demonstrate the feasibility of identifying high risk individuals in cancer survivorship. Methods: We reviewed the number of patients seen at the GW ACS and subsequent referrals to the GW RPHCP for genetic counseling/testing. An IRB approved research registry was used for retrieval of the data. The ACS clinic is staffed by a physician internist trained in clinical cancer genetics and a nurse practitioner trained in cancer survivorship. Results: 261 patients were seen in ACS from January 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017. Twenty patients (7.6%) were referred to RPHCP based on personal/family cancer history. Three patients were not consented for the research registry, lea...
