2nd Annual Contemporary Management of Cancer Risk and Prevention Symposium

This symposium will provide an update on cancer risk and prevention management for breast, ovarian, and several other cancers, with an emphasis on genetic testing and screening guidelines as stated by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Additional topics will include cancer prevention, lung cancer screening, direct-to-consumer testing, hereditary cancer syndromes associated with skin and genitourinary cancers, and disparities in genetics.

Symposium Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Identify patients at increased risk for cancer, related to family history or genetic mutations.
Review updated evidence-based guidelines for cancer risk and prevention including genetic testing, high-risk cancer screening, and risk-reducing surgeries.
Discuss case studies with the team members involved in the Cancer Risk and Prevention Multidisciplinary Clinic.
