May 22, 2015 —What is a family cancer syndrome? What tests are used
to check for the syndromes? Who should have genetic testing? According
to the American Cancer Society, certain inherited DNA mutations can intensely
increase the risk
for
developing certain cancers and are responsible for many of the cancers
that run in some families.
Join us for the Lunch and Learn For Your Health lecture at the Golden
Isles YMCA from 12 to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, as Stephen G. Barrett, M.D.,
