Did you know that up to 10% of cancers can result from inherited genetic changes?
According to Dr. Aparajita Singh, MD, MPH, Director of the UCSF Gastrointestinal Cancer Prevention Program, the Asian population is very underrepresented in genetic testing, as many patients with concerning family histories may not receive timely referrals for genetic testing.
To find out what is cancer genetic testing and if this testing should be recommended for you, you are cordially invited to this virtual bilingual town hall to find out what experts recommend.

您是否知道高達 10% 的癌症可能是由遺傳性基因變化引起的？
加州大學舊金山分校胃腸癌預防計畫主任、醫學博士、公共衛生碩士Aparajita Singh 博士表示，亞洲人群在基因檢測中的代表性非常不足，因為許多有相關家族史的患者可能無法及時轉診進行基因檢測。
要了解什麼是癌症基因檢測以及是否應該向您推薦這種檢測，我們誠摯地邀請您來到這個虛擬雙語市政廳，了解專家的建議。
