Gynecologic Cancer Education: Genetics & Ovarian Cancer

In May 2018, Mayo Clinic hosted a gynecologic cancer education course for ovarian cancer survivors and caregivers. Genetic counselor Jennifer Kemmppainen presented information on the familial and genetic impacts of ovarian cancer as well as other conditions.
Though only a small percent of ovarian cancers are hereditary, families who are affected have options with respect to increased screening and other therapies to reduce risk.
