| Clinical Cancer Genetics: A Practical Application/Case-Based Approach | ||||||||||||||||
| June 04, 2001 | ||||||||||||||||
|
Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Mid Atlantic Cancer Genetics Network, Baltimore, Maryland September 15, 2001 This one-day symposium will provide state-of-the-science information on clinical cancer genetics, gene testing and relevant clinical management strategies. Breast/ovarian and colon cancer are targeted because there exist clear indications for gene testing, screening and surveillance interventions. Genetic information concerning melanoma and pancreatic cancer is quickly evolving. Experts in the field of cancer genetics who grapple with the day-to-day issues and concerns of individuals and families at increased risk for cancer due to an inherited predisposition will provide tangible strategies and recommendations for risk assessment, counseling, and surveillance. A case analysis approach will be employed. Current legal issues will be discussed with attention to implications for the practitioner. The goal is to help the clinician respond in an informative manner that addresses fully patients' concerns and questions. |
