Abstract

We found greater odds of FBSEs among PV/LPV carriers, notable disparities in FBSEs, and prevalent family letter receipt, familial disclosure, and cascade testing. This study highlights the role of PV/LPV-carrying status on FBSEs and the potential need for comprehensive guidelines beyond known risk factors to optimize skin cancer screening in high-risk populations.
