Dr. Isabel Tena, specialist in oncology at the Provincial Hospital of Castellón de la Plana, explained that humans are “genetic, and environmental factors phenotype” and that although the genes predispose how to be a person, also habits influence. ‪Tena gave the conference “How to prevent hereditary cancer?” ‪within the course of prevention organized by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) of Castellón and Vice-deanship for Medicine of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the UJI.

‪The oncology specialist started the conference with the definition of what is predictive medicine, “a new concept emerged from the knowledge of the molecular basis of many diseases that allows a presymptomatic diagnosis,” it is to say, it can take preventive measures before the disease appears as to avoid exposure to risk factors, adapt lifestyle or carry out continuous monitoring of individuals, ultimately “a medicine that can diagnose diseases, thanks to the knowledge of the genome, when not yet manifested in the patient”.

‪Tena explained some of the treatments that prevent cancer risk depending on the type of genetic mutation (hereditary) of the patient, as “prophylactic oophorectomy”, a surgery in order to “reduce ovarian cancer by removing them before the disease manifests” but has also stressed the importance of getting routine tests to get an early diagnosis.
