An analysis of the efficacy of serial screening for familial nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on Markov chain models.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Identification of a genetic basis underlying certain types of cancer has led to an increase in demand for genetic counseling about individual risks of the disease. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to determine the quality and strength of evidence relating to psychological outcomes of geneti...
