Case-study submitted by Phillips Ives Review PMO on behalf of Tracie Miles RGN, PhD, Associate Director of Nursing and Midwifery, NHS South West Genomic Medicine Service Alliance.

This case-study written by Tracie is about a real patient.

In this teaching scenario, Louise explains the part genomics played in her ovarian cancer diagnosis, and her nurse provides an update nine years later about how things have changed.

A woman with ovarian cancer talks about her experience of having two genomic tests: one to inform her treatment options, and the other to identify whether her cancer is due to an inherited variant in her DNA. Nine years later, Louise’s nurse explains how things have changed and how mainstreaming genomics is making a difference.
