dc.description.abstract The risk information to be conveyed as part of expert counselling of women at increased risk for breast cancer potentially impacts on decision making about screening, prophylactic strategies, and psychological adjustment. Australian geneticists and genetic counsellors working in cancer genetics nominated risk counselling as the central feature of their work. Also, women attending genetic counselling expect to discuss their own and other family members’ risk. However, studies have consistently reported high levels of inaccurate risk perception in women at high risk, even after counselling, suggesting that risk counselling as currently practised in not optimal. en_US
