The study of epigenetics is not only fascinating from a scientific perspective, it’s something that we all should be familiar with. And it’s a game-changer when it comes to reducing the risk of cancer, healing from cancer treatment, and preventing a cancer recurrence. You won’t want to miss this show, especially if you are a “science geek” like we are! This show is broadcast live on Tuesday’s at 7PM ET on W4CS – The Cancer Support Network part of Talk 4 Radio on the Talk 4 Media Network.

In this week’s episode, we spoke with a patient and his doctor about genomic testing and how it can change treatment outcomes for patients with cancer.

Cancer is no longer the once thought “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to treatment, especially because genomic testing plays such a crucial role for certain patients.

This week, we spoke with Bryce, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014 and whose cancer journey was changed once he discovered what genomic testing could do for his treatment options. In addition, Dr. Marcia Brose, from the University of Pennsylvania, weighs in on what patients should know about genomic cancer testing.
