Host: Michael Benson, MD

Guest: Gregory Critchfield, MD, MS

In this segment, Dr. Critchfield looks at reasons why BRCA testing is so important in the physician's diagnostic repertoire, and the methods of helping patients reduce cancer risks after receiving a positive test. He then shares studies currently being undertaken to further evaluate the role of BRCA in prevention and treatment protocols. The interview concludes with a review of legislative efforts to regulate genetic testing, and Dr. Critchfield's personal outlook in projecting genetic testing's roles ten years into the future.
