Description
<p>Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is a hereditary tumor syndrome caused by mutations in BRCA genes. Advances in genetic testing technologies have enabled surveillance and risk-reducing surgeries for carriers of BRCA mutations, allowing for the early detection and prevention of cancer. However, the research and support infrastructure for addressing the psychological and social impacts of genetic diagnostics remain insufficient, and there is a need for mental and psychological support based on the needs of patients and their families. Here, we provide an overview of mindfulness, a psychotherapy that has been demonstrated to be effective in alleviating psychological distress in cancer patients, and we discuss the prospects for mindfulness therapy in HBOC patients.</p>
