Today genetic testing is not limited to the doctor's office. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing can screen for cancer risk in the privacy of your home. Are results useful for health decisions? Can they give reliable information about your risk for cancer and personalize your prevention? Join Dr. John Quillin, a genetic counselor at VCU Massey Cancer Center, as he discusses the benefits and risks of this type of testing.
