Abstract:
The mapping, sequencing, and analysis of the human genome that has occurred during the last decade through the Human Genome Project are providing fundamental advances for basic science and medicine. Genomic information is providing insights into causes of, susceptibility to, and protection from cancer and a host of other diseases. Already, information generated by the Human Genome Project has been incorporated into the care of cancer patients. Perhaps more so than other types of medical information, genetic knowledge can have profound implications for individuals, families, and society. As a result, nursing professionals in clinical and academic settings are being called upon to identify and deliberate medical, social, ethical, and legal issues stemming from Human Genome Project advancements. The purpose of this article is to review the goals and implications of the Human Genome Project to further prepare cancer nurses to actively participate in the deliberations, research, and clinical activities evolving from the Human Genome Project.
