Abstract
We characterized germline genetic test result understanding in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) (n = 21) with cancer 1-3.9 years post-disclosure using semistructured qualitative interviews. Most AYAs articulated their cancer risk; however, 5 did not remember results and a subset demonstrated misperceptions regarding risk or confusion regarding their medical care. These findings highlight variability in AYA understanding warranting further inquiry.
