There are 13 million people with cancer in the United States; about 1.3 million are hereditary.
Despite advanced training in cancer genetics and years of practicing medicine, Dr. Theodora Ross was never sure whether the history of cancers in her family was simple bad luck or a sign that they were carriers of a cancer-causing genetic mutation.
Using her family's story, the latest science of cancer genetics, and her experience as a practicing physician, Ross shares how to spot the patterns of inherited cancer, how to get tested for cancer-causing genes, and what to do if you have one.
The event will be followed by a book signing.
In collaboration with The Commonwealth Club.
