    3. Indications for Germline Testing after Genomic Tumor Testing (CME/CNE)

    Indications for Germline Testing after Genomic Tumor Testing (CME/CNE)

    Self-paced • 0.5 credits

    About this course

    The goal of genomic tumor testing is to identify biomarkers that have predictive (therapeutic) or prognostic significance for an active cancer. Some of the DNA variants detected through these tests that are relevant for therapeutic decisions can also be associated with hereditary cancer risks (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2). Knowing when a hereditary variant is present can be helpful in identifying targeted treatments, informing about future cancer risks, and identifying when close relatives might be at risk. This module will help you interpret genomic tumor test results to determine when a patient should be further evaluated for hereditary (germline) risk. This module uses practice cases to facilitate learning-by-doing, discussion of in-depth topics, and additional resources for more detail.
