@chicagogenetics Need a time study on that. The numbers would probably not surprise a genetic counselor.

Looks like some of the players targeting seniors in Medicare fraud for "free cancer genetic testing" were caught. https://t.co/6ELOewIv6g

Politicians and many media outlets are not accurate in portrayal of reputable testing Elizabeth Warren underwent through Stanford...not a shoddy test and results are consistent with her family history.

Fact Checker: Just about everything you’ve read on the Warren DNA test is wrong https://t.co/UzyAOsA4th

@GYRIG As a genetic counselor I have often met with individuals who didn't know before the visit that test results or their fam hx could change their surveillance and cancer prevention options. @HHampel1 is right knowledge is power. #CRCgenetics

[Barb Kunz @BarbDNAtalks]

@GYRIG A9: Too often the decision to pass on having testing is made without having enough info. I would say -learn enough to make an informed decision - meet with a genetic counselor and then decide. #CRCgenetics

[Barb Kunz @BarbDNAtalks]

@GYRIG A7: The discussions and care at the primary care level depend on the provider, their knowledge, interest, and time available. Some providers are excellent coordinators of care for those with hereditary cancer-often working with genetics professionals for updates. #CRCgenetics

[Barb Kunz @BarbDNAtalks]

@GYRIG A5: Many aren't aware that costs of clinical CRC-focused genetic tests have dropped, are often covered and multi-gene panel tests for CRC are tools for answers that were not available 10 years ago. #crcgenetics
