In this video Stacy Loeb, MD, MSc, When Dr. Veda Giri M.D. Learn about the content of a new podcast series that provides information on genetic testing for prostate cancer. A paper detailing patient responses to podcasts recently published prostate cancer and prostate disease (https://rdcu.be/c3UEl) and new episodes of the podcast will be available on Tuesdays (https://open.spotify.com/show/4FYxW2zUgJmW8wkVbiOXBb?si=dca177dda31443f6).
Gilli is the Director of Clinical Oncogenetics at Yale Cancer Center and Smylo Cancer and Assistant Director of Clinical Oncogenetics at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut. Loeb is Professor of Urology and Public Health at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City, NY.
Transcription:
Robe: So far there are 6 episodes.two [feature] A medical oncologist talks about the impact of genetics on the precise management of prostate cancer and how it ties in with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes and syndromes that occur in families, such as Lynch syndrome. I have two episodes with a genetic counselor. They talk about what happens in a genetic counseling session, what the different types of genetic testing are, especially how they differ compared to direct-to-consumer tests that can be done at home like 23andme. so it’s very interesting. Tests ordered in the clinical setting of cancer genetics. Finally, there are two personal stories of the patient and her son, their experiences going through the process, what it was like to be counseled and tested, and how they felt when they found out they were. Talk about how you felt. BRCA2 Careers and the impact it has had on their lives. So I think this is a great cluster of podcasts that really tackle this from different angles, from the personal side to the nuts and bolts to the clinical implications.
Gili: Yes, I think the personal stories of a patient and his son are very influential and I think they bring an important angle to the field.Men’s genetic testing in the context of prostate cancer information such as genetics BRCA1 Also BRCA2, [which are] Classically thought of as a genetic mutation associated with breast and ovarian cancer risk in women, how important it is for men to think about this and think about family history of cancer in general across genders. is [and] Beyond generations. Those things were really highlighted in the patient’s story.
