	Introduction

Top Introduction

 
After a year-long gestation, we are pleased to present the first Special Issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, entitled "Psychosocial Aspects of Cancer Genetic Testing: Findings from the Cancer Genetics Studies Consortium." This topic was selected to highlight the growing importance of cancer genetics and behavioral interventions in the reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality among susceptible populations. The success of this effort is due to the dedication of the Associate Editors for the Special Issue, Deborah Bowen, Andrea Farkas Patenaude, and Sally Vernon.

Planning has begun on a second Special Issue of the journal, featuring the work of the Cooperative Family Cancer Registry for Breast Cancer Studies, an NCI-funded multinational resource for researchers worldwide. We welcome feedback from our readers regarding this and any future Special Issue.
