Cancer Treatment for People with Inherited CDKN2A Mutations
Currently there are no cancer treatments approved specifically for people with a CDKN2A mutation, nor guidelines for treating cancer written specifically for people with a CDKN2A mutation. People with a CDKN2A mutation who are diagnosed with cancer may benefit from testing and may qualify for clinical trials looking for more effective treatments for cancer.
To learn more about standard of care treatment options for specific types of cancer, visit our section on Cancer Treatment by Cancer Type.
FORCE offers many peer support programs for people with inherited mutations.
