Session 1: Empowering Families Through Genetic Testing
Join us to learn how genetic testing can help you and your family understand your risk for hereditary cancers. This session will explain the basics of genetic testing, the importance of knowing your family history, and what test results can mean for you and your loved ones. We'll also talk about treatment options like targeted therapies, even for those who test negative, and what it means to be a “previvor.”
