By
PodBean Development
Summary
This episode of DNA Dialogues explores two innovative approaches in genetic counseling research. First, the GENETECA™ program at UCLA integrates point-of-care genetic testing directly into oncology clinics to improve access to hereditary cancer care. Second, research by Tesla Theoryn examines why many individuals who initially express interest in genetic testing never complete the process, exploring barriers such as life circumstances, privacy concerns, and insurance issues.
