Male carriers may be at increased risk of breast and prostate cancers. Relatively little is known about at\u2010risk men's decision\u2010making about <jats:italic>BRCA1\/2<\/jats:italic> testing. This qualitative study explores the influences on male patients\u2019 genetic test decisions. Twenty\u2010nine in\u2010depth interviews were undertaken with both carrier and noncarrier men and immediate family members (17 male patients, 8 female partners, and 4 adult children). These explored family members\u2019 experiences of cancer and genetic testing, decision\u2010making about testing, family support, communication of test results within the family, risk perception and risk management. Implicit influences on men's testing decisions such as familial obligations are examined. The extent to which other family members\u2014partners and adult children\u2014were involved in testing decisions is also described. It is demonstrated that mothers of potential mutation carriers not only perceive themselves as having a right to be involved in making this decision, but also were perceived by their male partners as having a legitimate role to play in decision\u2010making. There was evidence that (adult) children were excluded from the decision\u2010making, and some expressed resentment about this. The implications of these findings for the practice of genetic counseling are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10897-005-0384-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,14]],"date-time":"2005-06-14T09:29:50Z","timestamp":1118741390000},"page":"207-217","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Men's Decision\u2010Making About Predictive <i>BRCA1\/2<\/i> Testing: The Role of Family"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Hallowell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Sciences, The Medical School University of Edinburgh United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Ardern\u2010Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Genetics Clinic The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust London United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Eeles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Cancer Genetics Team and Cancer Genetics Unit Institute of Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust London United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macmillan Research Unit, School of Nursing and Midwifery University of Southampton United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Lucassen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wessex Clinical Genetics Service Princess Anne Hospital Southampton United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Moynihan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Cancer Genetics Team and Cancer Genetics Unit Institute of Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust London United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Medicine Royal Marsden Hospital London United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"1251","article-title":"Factors associated with clinical BRCA1\/2 testing","volume":"9","author":"Armstrong K.","year":"2000","journal-title":"Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","volume-title":"Principles of Biomedical Ethics","author":"Beauchamp T.
