This webinar will focus on somatic test results and their impact on hereditary cancer genetic testing. Join us as we review how germline variants affect the performance and results of somatic testing. We will discuss case examples to identify patients who may benefit from further germline analysis based on somatic results and ways somatic test results can inform the ordering and interpretation of hereditary cancer testing.
