About
Biography
I provide cancer risk assessment and counseling to individuals and families with a history of cancer. Cancer genetic consultation requires documentation of cancers in the family, risk assessment, screening recommendations, and incorporation of genetic testing as necessary.
My research interests are in cancer genetics with a particular interest in hereditary breast cancers and familial communication of genetic risk. I coordinate the Ohio State University satellite of several international hereditary breast and ovarian cancer research studies.
