Expert Video - Who should get genetic testing for an inherited mutation for ovarian cancer and how is it done?
Scott Richard, MD, an expert in gynecologic oncology, explains why genetic testing on blood and saliva samples is important for women with a strong family history of ovarian cancer or an ovarian cancer syndrome to understand risk and plan to reduce it. Dr. Richard discusses the importance of genetic testing for planning treatment in women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. Working with a genetic counselor is an important part of the testing process.
