This session will highlight the challenges and opportunities of clinical care and genetic testing in the population-based Hereditary Cancer Program at BC Cancer, which serves all of British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. We will review the challenges of increased wait times and constraints on referral criteria, opportunities to implement new and creative models of service delivery, and downstream impacts on cascade carrier testing. While the provision of care in a Canadian setting comes with certain challenges that may not be seen in other jurisdictions, it also allows for population-based interventions, which other clinics can learn from.
