Genetic Testing: Is It Really Cutting Edge?

Paper Summary:

In this paper, the writer looks at genetic testing from different angles, including people's stories and personal interviews with doctors. The focus of the paper is how effective genetic testing is on cancer, especially ovarian and breast cancer.

From the Paper:

"Research has defined family history as playing a major risk factor in the development of this deadly disease. They have identified two specific genes, the BRCA -1 and BRCA-2, that are believed to be responsible for ovarian cancer and can be identified through genetic testing. This gene's are specific genes coded for Breast Cancer, but have recently shown proof of also being the coded gene's for ovarian cancer. Because of these findings doctors are pressuring people to have genetic testing done, especially if you are a first degree relative of a daughter, sister or mother who has previously been diagnosed with ovarian cancer."
