Description:Implementing Evidence-based Genomic Tests and Family Health History
Over 1 million Americans are at increased risk for early-onset cancer due to one of two genetic conditions:
• BRCA-associated hereditary breast, ovarian, and other cancers (BRCA);
• Lynch syndrome (LS)—hereditary colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and other cancers; and
Most people with these conditions are not aware they have them, yet early detection and intervention could save their lives.
State public health genomics programs are helping to reach people at risk by implementing evidence-based recommendations.
Innovative State Public Health Genomics Programs: Since 2008, CDC, through the Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) and the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), has supported state genomics programs in Michigan, Oregon, Georgia, and more recently Utah, Connecticut and Colorado, to implement evidence-based genomics recommendations.
