One in ten melanoma patients will have an affected first degree relative and 10-20% of those will have a strong family history. Over a dozen genes have been identified in association with familial melanoma and 90% of cases that test positive will carry a mutation in CDKN2A. Recent systematic reviews show that genetic testing for hereditary melanoma is not associated with any psychological distress. Furthermore, there is evidence of improved primary and secondary preventative behaviours following testing. In addition, identifying a causal mutation in an affected family member allows for genetic testing in unaffected family members, to ensure that they receive appropriate screening to improve early detection.
Using brief didactic sessions, observational and participatory role plays, counselling aides and example testing/results forms, this workshop will empower clinicians to:
- Advance pedigree taking and assessment skills
- Increase confidence at evaluating personal and family history for risk assessment
- Understand the components which need to be addressed in a pre-test session
- Be familiar with how to order genetic testing for melanoma
- Understand the possible post-test result types and how to explain them
- Recognise where and when to refer to clinical genetics’ services
