Race, Ethnicity, and Clinical Utility in Cancer Genetics with Holly LaDuca, MS, CGC

• In this EducateNext, Ms. LaDuca will present detailed results from a recent study exploring racial and ethnic differences in cancer genetic testing results for women with breast cancer. Results from this study and others will be used to highlight opportunities to improve the utility of genetic testing in populations facing health inequalities.

  

  Only the live session qualifies for CEUs but when possible, we host the recordings on our website and NSGC recommends participants to use their personal email instead of work email addresses to ensure they receive their CEU certificates.
