Cancer Treatment
Read about different genes that are linked to hereditary cancer, their associated risks and guidelines for screening, preventing and treating cancers in people with inherited mutations in these genes.
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. Consider participating in a clinical trial to help experts learn which treatments work best for someone with an inherited CDKN2A mutation.
