Regional Hereditary Cancer Program in Chile: A scalable model of genetic counseling and molecular diagnosis to improve clinical outcomes for patients with hereditary cancer across Latin America
The Regional Hereditary Cancer Program addresses significant gaps in genetic counseling and testing in Chile's public health system. This scalable model enhances early detection and personalized treatment for hereditary cancer patients and could be adapted to other regions across Latin America.
