#NewfoundlandAndLabrador #Cancer #Podcast #PublicOutreach #HereditaryCancers
On behalf of the Public Interest Group on Cancer Research, welcome to Episode 3 of our podcast series! Our special guests today are Derrick Bishop and Dr. Jane Green! 😊 In this episode, we discuss about cancers running in families (which are also called hereditary cancers), how genetic discoveries help families ( including from Newfoundland and Labrador), how hereditary cancers are experienced by folks, and what have been done so far and what can be further done to help alleviate the negative consequences of hereditary cancers in Newfoundland and Labrador (and beyond). Around 5-10% of certain cancers are estimated to be hereditary in nature, with genetic features affecting our risk of developing cancers significantly. Examples include breast, ovarian, colon, retinal and many other cancers. Hereditary cancers usually develop earlier and in multiple members of the family compared those who do not have a hereditary condition. If you suspect a hereditary condition, please talk to your physician. I (Sevtap) thank Derrick Bishop and my colleague Dr. Green for sharing their story, knowledge, and insight. For questions/comments please contact Sevtap at savas{at}mun.ca. A video recording of this conversation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXdelLbDiD4&t=2008s We gratefully acknowledge Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) for the music segment used (Loopster).
