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.
To learn more about standard of care treatment options for specific types of cancer, visit our section on Cancer Treatment by Cancer Type.
