Nov. 30 symposium is for women and men at risk for cancer from BRCA 1 or 2 genetic mutations
Genetic testing can help determine a person’s risk for developing certain cancers. Identifying cancer genes, the presence of BRCA 1and 2 mutations, is the first step. This testing allows the implementation of risk-reducing interventions: more frequent screening, surgical prevention and chemoprevention. For patients and families at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer due to BRCA mutations, the information gained from genetic testing not only provides answers, but raises questions, too.
