Help us help you: What cancer topics would you like to learn about? Jan 15 5:20pm | By Liz Waugh, Patient Educator (@lizwaugh)Comment receiving replies
Genetic testing for cancer.
When is genetic testing helpful for treatment plans or predicting your chances of getting cancer or your cancer returning? If tested over 5 years ago, should you be retested? Are there new genetic tests that were not around 5, 10, or 15 years ago? What are the most common genetic markers tested for?
Who and where should you get genetic testing? The role of genetic counseling with genetic testing. Are there fake or scam tests that people should be aware of?
Thank you

@roch This is a great topic, and one that we have touched on before, but would be great for us to revisit.
