What is prostate cancer genomics all about? A guide for GPs and non-genetic counsellors | Online

March 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

Free
online training from an external provider

Hosted by the Australian Prostate Centre

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.

RACGP accreditation
One CPD Educational Activity hour.

Murray PHN acknowledges its catchment crosses over many unceded First Nations Countries, following the Dhelkunya Yaluk (Healing River).

We pay our respects and give thanks to the Ancestors, Elders and Young people for their nurturing, protection and caregiving of these sacred lands and waterways, acknowledging their continuing cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

We are grateful for the sharing of Country and the renewal that Country gives us. We acknowledge and express our sorrow that this sharing has come at a personal, spiritual and cultural cost to the wellbeing of First Nations peoples. We commit to addressing the injustices of colonisation across our catchment, and to listening to the wisdom of First Nations communities who hold the knowledge to enable healing. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
