Kevin Dalby, UT Austin Professor, Discusses DNA Testing — A Promising Weapon in the War on Cancer

Image
Originally published on  consciouslifenews.com The fruits of the   Human Genome Project   are showing promise in diagnosing and treating cancer.   Modern   oncology is in the midst of radical change, with DNA testing methods designed to help patients live longer through early cancer detection and treatment. Dr.   Kevin Dalby   explains some of the ways in which DNA testing is proving to be a promising weapon in the war on cancer. Predictive Genetic Testing This type of testing looks for any inherited gene mutation that could put someone at a higher risk of getting some cancer types. People who have a family history of cancer can see if they have the gene mutation that would, in turn, increase their risk of getting cancer themselves. By identifying the gene mutation early, they can potentially lower their particular risk to that cancer. In addition, people who have been diagnosed with cancer can benefit from this testing, too. DNA testing could show if the patient also has a high risk o
