Common Concerns about Hereditary Breast Cancer
In this video, we will learn about cancer genetics by watching TikTok videos. The focus of these videos is hereditary breast cancer and we will specifically discuss patient-initiated genetic testing (BRCA test) through Color Genomics, prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy due to hereditary cancer risk, and how genetic test results can impact surgical decisions and chemotherapy options for patients with breast cancer.
