Annual review program for gene carriers

The Familial Cancer Centre (FCC) provides long term clinical and psychological support to patients with inherited cancer predisposition syndromes through an established Annual Review Program (ARP). The ARP involves mailing patients a clinical questionnaire annually to identify any unmet medical or psychosocial needs and to ensure adherence to a cancer risk management program. This project will evaluate the ARP to determine if the program is meeting patient’s needs and address the potential cost-effectiveness of the ARP
