North Memorial Health issued the following announcement on Oct. 24.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where an emphasis is put on understanding, education, screening, treatment and support of the disease. And for some, an important piece of that includes genetic counseling. Genetic testing can help families who have a high cancer risk due to inherited genetic factors better understand their risk for cancer and determine the screening and prevention efforts that will be most effective.
KARE 11’s Sharon Yoo recently shared her genetic counseling journey at North Memorial Health and why she decided to no longer live without answers. Thank you for highlighting this important part of breast cancer screening!
