Support groups aid women with BRCA1/2 gene mutations.
2004 NOV 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A new study finds support groups can relieve the anxiety and depression associated with carrying BRCA1 or 2 gene mutations, the so-called "cancer genes."
The results of the first study to investigate a support-group model intervention for women at high risk of breast cancer will be published in the November 15, 2004, issue of Cancer. It was published online on October 11, 2004.
Women who carry BRCA1 and 2 gene mutations have up to a 90% lifetime risk of breast or ovarian cancers. As a result, they must address difficult issues that can lead to depression and anxiety, including the perception of personal vulnerability to cancer, and communicating the inheritable vulnerability and its risks to their family. Moreover, they must assimilate much information swiftly to make significant life-altering decisions, such as whether or not to have surgery or chemotherapy in hopes of preventing the disease. Previous needs assessments have demonstrated that women affected by the genetic mutations are seeking support networks and therapy when no validated model currently exists.
