Dr. Melissa Frey, a gynecologic oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, has a genuine passion for the power of genetic testing because she knows that it can completely change the direction of her patient’s lives for the better. As a leader in the field, she helped launch a unique screening program with multi-disciplinary expertise and counseling, the Genetics and Personalized Cancer Prevention Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. The center not only helps patients gain access to genetic testing to assess their risk of cancers but it also uses cascade testing to contact their relatives and help them get genetic testing too. In doing so, the center is working to identify more people whose lives haven't yet been affected by cancer and help them take preventive action based on their risk. In many cases this can mean avoiding a life threatening illness.
