GP education event - What is prostate cancer genomics all about? A guide for GPs and non-genetic counsellors

Date: Tuesday 18 March 2025

Time: 7.00-8.15pm

Where: Online via Zoom

Overview
Prostate cancer GP Dr Jane Crowe will outline prostate cancer genetic issues that can arise in the general practice setting and will discuss when it is deemed suitable for GPs to suggest genetic testing for their patients with prostate cancer, particularly those who have certain characteristics for an inherited mutation (germline). Prof Niall Corcoran will explain the function of biomarker (somatic) testing and for what types of prostate cancer it is suitable. Case studies will be used for context.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Distinguish between germline and somatic genetic testing and when one may be more suitable over another.
  2. Determine when it is appropriate to suggest genetic testing to a patient.
