CDKN2A: Options for Cancer Treatment
Cancer Treatment Considerations for People with Inherited Mutations
Currently there are no targeted cancer treatments approved specifically for people with a mutation. Guidelines for treating cancer are the same for people with a mutation and those who do not have a mutation. People with a mutation who are diagnosed with cancer should ask their doctor if they might benefit from testing or if they might qualify for a clinical trial looking for more effective treatments for cancer.
