Seattle Cancer Care Alliance combines the brilliant minds of Fred Hutch, Seattle Children's and UW Medicine. Together they've pioneered groundbreaking medical advancements in the cancer field. As a comprehensive cancer center SCCA also offers genetic counseling and testing, which can help determine if a person has a genetic risk for cancer.
Mercy Laurino, a licensed genetic counselor and manager of the SCCA cancer prevention program, and patient Aislinn, talk about what you need to know and who might consider genetic counseling and testing.

Check out the lyrics to Aislinn's song The Mirror which she wrote about genetic testing more than 20 years ago, before she was even personally affected by cancer.
