About this event
Cancer genetic testing options
DNA tests are revolutionizing our medical world and one of the greatest impacts has been in cancer. Potential benefits range from screening for a hereditary predisposition to the informed selection of a personalized therapy. But the public remains largely uninformed about this breakthrough technology. In this talk, geared towards cancer patients, individuals with cancer family history, and treating physicians, we will discuss:
- What types of cancer related genetic tests are available?
- What is the difference between your inherited DNA and the tumour DNA?
- What are the limitations and benefits of cancer genetic tests?
- What are the extra benefits of combined DNA and RNA testing?
- What is the one DNA test that every cancer patient should consider?
- Which cancer medications are linked to personal genetics?
Who this talk is for:
- Cancer patients and survivors
- Individuals with a family history of cancer
- Physicians interested in cancer related genetic tests availability at their clinics
- Cancer support staff who desire to learn more about cancer DNA testing
- Influencers with outreach who are interested in partnering for events promotion to facilitate education and awareness to cancer patients , family members, treating physicians
