GoingToMeet

This program is designed to educate health care providers on how to identify and manage patients who are at high risk for hereditary cancer. After attending this event, providers will be better able to identify patients at risk for hereditary cancer who may benefit from genetic testing. In addition, they will be able to help patients with hereditary cancer syndromes to implement the appropriate cancer screening and risk reduction strategies which ultimately lead to decreased cancer risk in this high-risk population. Topics discussed in the conference will be the identification of appropriate candidates for genetic testing, interpretation of genetic test results, and risk reduction strategies including screening, chemoprevention, and prophylactic surgery.
