Genetics & Genomics
In this roundtable discussion presented by AONN+ and supported by Exact Sciences, a panel of experts discuss the critical role of nurse navigators in educating cancer patients about genomic testing and how to interpret the results.
Genetics testing can yield important insights for patients with cancer, and navigators are optimally positioned to help patients get appropriate testing.
Dr Andrey Antov sees much potential for navigators when it comes to applying genetic and genomic testing to cancer care.
Dr Andrey Antov recognizes how important the role of the navigator is in dealing with genetic and genomic testing, as the navigator often needs to help the patient gain access to the appropriate therapy, work with different stakeholders, monitor data, and more.
Dr Andrey Antov provides an overview of the role of Jackson Laboratory in the field of cancer genetic testing and in the education of nurses and navigators who co-manage patients at high risk or with a diagnosis of cancer.
