Dr. Audeh emphasizes the importance of understanding one's cancer at a genetic level to make informed treatment decisions. He explains how genomic tests like MammaPrint and BluePrint provide valuable insights into the behavior of breast cancer, helping to determine the necessity of chemotherapy, the duration of hormone therapy, and the best treatment options tailored to each individual.
Dr. Audeh also highlights the gap in awareness and access to genomic testing, advocating for its early use to alleviate anxiety and empower patients. This interview is a must-watch for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, offering vital information on how genomic testing can significantly impact treatment and outcomes.
Dr. Audeh received his medical degree from the University of Iowa and an M.S. Degree in Genetics from the University of Minnesota. He went on to complete his residency in Internal Medicine as well as a fellowship in Medical Oncology at Stanford University Medical Center. He is board certified on internal medicine and medical oncology and is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Association of Cancer Research (ASCO and AACR).
Genomic tests like MammaPrint® and BluePrint® can help you and your doctor find the right answers quickly. They present a full picture of your tumor biology, enabling us to predict which treatment approaches are going to be the most beneficial.
At Agendia, our goal is to right-size your treatment by providing the information your care team needs to form the best possible plan for you. We want you to be able to lead a long and full life.

Learn Look Locate Information:
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
The experience of individuals in the LGBTQ community with breast cancer screening and care varies significantly. Use of transgender-inclusive terminology is vital.
