Between 5 and 10 percent of all cancer cases occur because of an inherited genetic mutation. But there are tests that can help tell if you are at a greater risk.   Drs. Lauren Nye and Jennifer Klemp discuss how genetic testing may help answer your questions about your cancer risks and determine a path forward. Becky Burns, a breast cancer survivor and member of KU Cancer Center's patient research advocacy group, PIVOT, will also join us to share how genetic testing played a part in her cancer journey.
