Summary

Cancer is, at its core, a disease of genetics, so it’s no surprise it can run in families. As we start to understand these hereditary risk factors, how can we use that knowledge? In this episode, David explores ways that forward-thinking researchers and clinicians are working with families across generations to find and treat cancer and build better treatments for the future.
