This video highlights four abstracts from SABCS investigating the use of hereditary gene panels and methods to predict prognosis in male breast cancer.

In this video, N. Lynn Henry, MD, PhD, of the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute, highlights four abstracts investigating the use of hereditary gene panels and methods to predict prognosis in male breast cancer.

Henry was a discussant for a spotlight session on this topic at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 5–9 in San Antonio, Texas.
