What are the ethical considerations in cancer testing?
Ethical considerations in cancer testing include:
- Informed Consent: Patients must be fully informed about the benefits, risks, and limitations of the tests they are undergoing. - Privacy and Confidentiality: The sensitive nature of cancer diagnoses necessitates strict measures to protect patient data. - Equity: Ensuring that all individuals, regardless of socio-economic status, race, or geography, have equal access to testing.
