More Informed Treatment with Hereditary Cancer Testing: A Panel Discussion
As a provider, you have the power to change a patient’s story.
Genetic information can help inform cancer prevention plans. Up to 10% of all breast cancers can be attributed to hereditary causes, the most well known of which is a BRCA1 or 2 mutation. A woman with a BRCA1 mutation could have up to an 87% chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.*
Hear from one breast cancer survivor and one previvor on how uncovering genetic information at different stages impacted their – and their family’s – cancer journey.
Hear from an Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility OB/GYN on how to integrate hereditary cancer testing into practice, discuss cancer history and testing options with patients, and how to approach family planning with mutation carriers.
