SECTION 1 - GENETICS
• Genetic Counsellors
• Cancer
• Genetics
SECTION 2 – GENETIC TESTING
• Genetic Testing (tissue vs germline)
• How To Access Genetic Testing
SECTION 3 – PROSTATE CANCER GENETICS
• Genes Connected to Prostate Cancer
• How Genetic Testing Impacts Prostate Cancer Risk, Aggressiveness, Treatment
SECTION 4 – OTHER PROSTATE CANCER RISK FACTORS
• Family History

SECTION 2
Genetic Testing
Germline Testing Tissue Testing
Cancer Genetic Testing
• Saliva sample
• Blood sample
• Mutation present or
absent (generally)
• Tumour sample
• Liquid biopsy
• Mutation always
present

Germline Genetic Test Results

common uncommon rare
Mutation = likely pathogenic / pathogenic variant
Why Should Prostate Cancer Patients Get Genetic Testing?
– Understand prostate cancer risk?
– Potential risk for other cancers? (eg. colon cancer, breast cancer)
– Cascade testing for family members? (eg. siblings, children)
– Prostate cancer aggressiveness
– Recommendations for clinical treatment of localized disease
– Active Surveillance
– Surgery
– Radiation
– Eligibility for PARPi Clinical Trials

Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNA)
GNA is a law that protects you from use of genetic test results in certain
settings.
GNA prevents the following from using genetic test results against you:
• Insurance companies
• Life insurance, Critical illness insurance
• Federal government-regulated employers
GNA does NOT prevent insurers/employers from using…
• information about your personal history of cancer
• information about your family history cancer

Editor's Notes

  • #1 National, prostate cancer patients and caregivers Tumour vs somatic The Screen Project Blood vs saliva CHARM2
  • #6 Explain that mutation is a change/mistake in a gene Mutations can be caused by errors in cell division or perhaps environment (radiation, chemicals, smoking)
  • #9 Explain that mutation is a change/mistake in a gene Mutations can be caused by errors in cell division or perhaps environment (radiation, chemicals, smoking)
