Cancer Genetic Testing Consent Form

Streamline Cancer Genetic Testing Consent with Paperform

Cancer genetic testing is a critical part of modern healthcare, helping identify hereditary syndromes and inform treatment decisions. But gathering informed consent requires clear communication about complex topics—test purposes, limitations, emotional implications, and family notification responsibilities.

This Cancer Genetic Testing Consent Form template gives healthcare providers, genetic counseling centers, and oncology practices a professional, compliant way to collect patient consent for hereditary cancer testing. Built with Paperform, it walks patients through every aspect of the testing process in plain language, ensuring they understand what they're agreeing to before moving forward.

What makes this template essential for healthcare teams

The form covers all the key elements of informed consent for cancer genetic testing: patient demographics, personal and family cancer history, understanding of hereditary syndromes (like Lynch syndrome, BRCA1/BRCA2, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome), test limitations (including false negatives and variants of uncertain significance), psychological and insurance implications, and family notification responsibilities.

Conditional logic adapts the form based on patient responses—if someone has a family history of specific cancers, follow-up questions appear automatically. This ensures you collect the right information without overwhelming patients with irrelevant questions.

Built for genetic counselors, oncologists, and cancer centers

Whether you're a genetic counselor coordinating testing across multiple patients, an oncology practice integrating genetic screening into care pathways, or a cancer center managing consent workflows, this template helps you maintain compliance while delivering a compassionate patient experience.

Use Papersign to collect legally binding electronic signatures on consent agreements, keeping everything tied to the original submission for a complete audit trail. Then connect the form to your EHR, patient management system, or CRM using Stepper workflows—automatically creating patient records, triggering follow-up appointment reminders, or notifying genetic counselors when a new consent is submitted.
