Author(s):

Kristie L. Kahl

In this week’s episode of the “CURE Talks Cancer” podcast, we spoke with Lisa Schlager, from FORCE, about the types of legal protections in place for those with a genetic risk for cancer.

In the United States, there are specific laws in place to protect those who have received a cancer diagnosis as well as for those who are at an increased risk for hereditary cancer. In this week’s episode of the “CURE Talks Cancer” podcast, we spoke with Lisa Schlager, from Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), to help break down the types of legal protections in place for these individuals.
