Mapping Breast Cancer Genes – 2
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. As scientists learn more about the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer, they are able to tailor patient therapy.
Olopade: It’s leading to people feeling empowered to do something with their risk instead of being paralyzed by it.
Narrator: Dr. Olufunmilayo Olopade is at the University of Chicago and recently spoke at the National Cancer Institute. She says breast cancer has been a major focus of cancer genetics and prevention efforts.
Olopade: It’s really been rewarding to see how far we’ve come, and what I hope we would do is not rest on our laurels, but get out there and make these advances accessible to people all over the world.
