Summary of video "Public Health Genomics Implementation to Save Lives - From National Vision to State Success"
> 1 000 000 people with cancer related to Lynch syndrome or hereditary ovarian or breast cancer.
Lynch syndrome accounts for a significant number of colon, ovarian, endometrial and other gastrointestinal cancers.
Identified genetic mutations account for a significant number of breast cancers and ovarian cancers.
These genetic mutations can be screened for and treated early or allow the opportunity to modify other risk factors.
The Healthy people 2020 goals aim to decrease the number of deaths from cancer, particularly in young people.
Goals
1. Set goals by assessing data and available resources.
Identify people at risk through family history and manage them accordingly.
Historical data from cancer register used to identify family members at risk.
2. Build partnerships
Help physicians identify at risk patients and intervene early.
The Michigan Cancer Genetics Alliance includes many stakeholders from different areas three.
Network between hospitals.
Collaboration is important for progress in this field.
3. Conduct surveillance.
State cancer registry.
Data on burden of disease.
Track progress.
4. Provide information to health policy makers
Provide evidence-based guidelines regarding appropriate referrals and interventions to health insurance companies.
Work with these companies to develop policies regarding genetic testing.
5. Make education public
Promote cancer genomic awareness.
Educate both health providers and the public.
6. Implement bidirectional reporting
Cancer clinics to share information and refer patients to genomic services and vice versa.
7. Conduct surveillance and review results
Identify and prioritise areas of need.
Provide counselling services to families.
This sort of program allows genomics to become mainstream medicine.
