About this listen

In this episode, we explore the powerful impact of genetic testing in shaping breast cancer treatment. With medical advancements in genomics, we now have the tools to better predict, prevent, and personalize care for individuals facing breast cancer. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or simply seeking deeper knowledge, this episode offers clear insights to help you make informed decisions.

🔍 You’ll Learn:

  • Which genetic mutations—like BRCA1, BRCA2, HER2, and PIK3CA—increase breast cancer risk
  • How genetic testing helps identify treatment strategies such as hormonal therapy, targeted therapy, and PARP inhibitors
  • When chemotherapy may or may not be necessary based on test results
  • Who should consider testing based on family history, age, or cancer type
  • Why early detection through testing can benefit family members too

Genetic testing not only improves treatment decisions, it can empower patients and families to take proactive steps for early intervention and risk management.

🎧 Listen to Dr. Christina Ng, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Onco Life Centre, as she breaks down the value of personalized medicine and how genetic testing is transforming the way we treat breast cancer in Malaysia.
