Cancer Genetics and Genetic Testing – It’s Not All in the Family - K. Foreman - 20220608
Genetic sequencing technologies are increasingly applied in the oncology setting for a variety of purposes. Genetic testing of tumor specimens can help clarify a diagnosis and inform targeted therapies. Circulating tumor DNA can be detected in blood samples and can also guide therapy as well as monitoring for response to treatment or recurrence. Five to ten percent of cancers are the result of an underlying hereditary syndrome. Dedicated germline (i.e. hereditary) genetic tests are required to identify these syndromes, but other genetic tests may provide clues about the chance of a hereditary syndrome. Inappropriate use of other types of genetic testing to assess germline risk can result in harm to patients. We propose to provide education about various oncology genetic tests and their uses, with an emphasis on what those tests may (or may not) tell us about underlying hereditary risk. We will illustrate this with case examples, including a recent case referred to us who underwent prophylactic surgeries after being told she had BRCA1/2 associated hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome following incorrect ordering of a test that did not address germline risk and misinterpretation of the results.

Caring for Older Adults with Cancer: Who, When, Where, Why, and How? - T. Jolly - 20170712
Age is the single most important risk factor for developing cancer and the incidence of most human cancers increases with advancing age. Older adults frequently have co-morbidities, functional and psychosocial deficits which may impact cancer care. This lecture discuss the effect of aging on patients with cancer and reviews of the use of simple geriatric assessment tools in oncology. Case studies are shared to illustrate how such tools can be used to guide medical decision making for these patients who often have co-morbidities and functional and/or psychosocial deficits. Learning Outcomes: • Demonstrate an understanding of the value of geriatric assessment in the care of older cancer patients. • Incorporate geriatric assessment in routine care of older adults with cancer. • Utilize geriatric assessment and principles to guide interventions which may improve the health outcomes in older cancer patients. This lecture was presented as part of the RN and Allied Health Lecture Series.
