  • Resumen

  • In this episode, we explore the fascinating field of genomics and genetic testing. Join us as Kelly Kohut, lead consultant genetic counsellor, breaks down what genomics is and how it plays a crucial role in cancer care today. We also hear from Emma Jenkins, patient representative working with the Southeast NHS Genomic Medicine Service, who shares her personal journey with genetic testing. Emma candidly discusses her experience of being diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, a hereditary condition that increases the risk of developing certain cancers, following a family member's cancer diagnosis. This conversation offers valuable insights into the real-world implications of genomics and the impact of genetic testing on individuals and families.
