BRCA Genes and Beyond

Welcome to our comprehensive panel discussion on 'BRCA Genes and Beyond'—everything you need to know about genetic testing for breast cancer risk and more. This discussion brings together our medical experts from Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Bangalore, to explore the critical role that genetics play in understanding breast cancer risk, including a deep dive into BRCA genes and other genetic factors.

Our panellists, Dr Sandhya Appachu, HoD, Medical Oncology, Dr Lohitha Krishna, Consultant, Surgical Oncology, Dr Aruna Korlimarla, Principal Scientist, Molecular Research and Diagnostics, and Mrs Niby, Consultant, Molecular Research and Diagnostics, cover a range of important topics, from understanding general risk factors for developing breast cancer to determining who might benefit most from genetic testing. You'll learn about the types of genetic tests available, and how each can offer valuable insights into an individual’s risk profile. They also discuss the pivotal role of genetic counsellors, who guide patients through the testing process, helping them interpret results and make informed decisions about prevention and care.

In the final segment, we explore the multidisciplinary roles of oncologists and specialists from various departments when a patient presents herself with a breast lump and how each specialist plays a unique role in the journey from diagnosis to treatment. This comprehensive, holistic approach ensures a tailored and effective care plan for every patient. This discussion provides all the knowledge you need to make empowered choices.

If you're considering genetic testing, have a family history of breast cancer, or are interested in the future of personalised cancer risk assessment, Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre is here to help.
