Genodermatoses – Opportunities for Early Detection and Cancer Prevention

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of Review

This review describes the clinical features of the major adult-onset genodermatosis-associated hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes.

Recent Findings

By emphasising the cutaneous and other non-malignant features, we aim to alert clinicians from all specialities to clues in the clinical history which should prompt consideration of a genodermatosis-associated hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. In recognition of the move towards remote (telephone or video) appointments since the Covid-19 pandemic, we propose criteria which could be used by Cancer Genetics services t
