Healthy Living with USA Health: Hereditary Cancer Risks in Men
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Certified Genetic Counselor Amanda Trulock from USA Health joined us on Studio10 to discuss hereditary cancer risks in men.
Trulock provides the answers to some of the following questions:
When we talk about hereditary cancers, we often think about the cancer risk to women related to the BRCA genes. But men can also be affected. What are some hereditary cancers that can affect men’s health?
How are cancer risk variants inherited from the paternal side of the family?
What risk factors should men and their families be looking for? Could you give us an example?
Who should consider genetic testing?
