Abstract
Constitutional (hereditary) genetic variation and somatic genetic alterations acquired during transformation to the neoplastic phenotype are both critical determinants of cancer outcome, and can ultimately have a significant effect on cancer survivorship. This article discusses the role of constitutional and somatic genetics in determining outcome and survivorship following a diagnosis of cancer using illustrative examples primarily from the hematologic malignancies.
