Redefining Care for BRCA and Other Familial-associated Cancers

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Advances in molecular genetics and testing have refined the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for patients with BRCA and other familial genetic syndromes. As women with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are at an increased risk for developing high-grade serous ovarian cancer, there are implications for genetic testing, family counseling, radiologic screening, and pharmaceutical choices in the community setting. Molecular and genetic advances, such as novel PARP inhibitors, are altering the treatment paradigm for recurrent ovarian cancer. Other familial cancer genetic syndromes are being rapidly identified and may have implications for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of those malignancies.
Appropriate evidence-based care and demonstration of high-quality care are consistent with clinical guidelines and will directly affect reimbursement incentives within the new payment models. This session will address these important new issues in cancer care.
