Surgical oncologists need to be educated about newly identified hereditary genetic mutations associated with an increased risk for breast cancer. A greater understanding of the risks associated with newly identified genetic mutations will help heighten awareness of the need to perform genetic testing to better select appropriate surgical interventions. This webinar is based on the SSO 2019 session.
