Title: Risk assessment and genetic counseling for hematologic malignancies - Practice resource of the National Society of Genetic Counselors
Abstract: Hematologic malignancies (HMs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers impacting individuals of all ages that have been increasingly recognized in association with various germline predisposition syndromes. Given the myriad of malignancy subtypes, expanding differential diagnoses, and unique sample selection requirements, evaluation for hereditary predisposition to HM presents both challenges as well as exciting opportunities in the ever-evolving field of genetic counseling. This practice resource has been developed as a foundational resource for genetic counseling approaches to hereditary HMs and aims to empower genetic counselors who encounter individuals and families with HMs in their practice.
