November is lung cancer awareness month. Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is the most common form of pediatric lung cancer. Variants in the DICER1 gene have been linked to this rare diagnosis. To learn more about PPB, visit us at https://t.co/JSB2GvoROj #RareCancerResearch
Connecting with a genetic counselor can be a great step in understanding your testing needs, test results, and learning more about what a DICER1 diagnosis means for you and your family. We are grateful for the amazing genetic counselors we connect with! #GeneticCounselorAwareness
