Year after year there have been more advances in our understanding of prostate cancer to a point now where there’s a lot of information out there. This talk is meant to distill the most practical parts of the prostate cancer genetics story on how this applies to people who have a prostate cancer story, or who are at risk of prostate cancer. This talk will cover the basics of genetics, how to access genetic testing, and how results of genetic testing can impact care.
