AB Upon  receipt  of  a  genetic  test  result  identifying  an  inherited  cancer  predisposition,  parents  are  often  most  focused  on  the  potential  impact  of  their  result  for  their  children  and  wonder  how  and  when  to  tell  them.  This  chapter  focuses  on  strategies  to  help  healthcare  professionals  to  prepare  patients  to  discuss  genetic  test  results  with  their  children  and  extended  family  members  by  outlining  general  communication  guidelines,  reviewing  hereditary  cancer  communication  literature,  and  identifying  patient  resources.
