About this organization
Mission
Desert Mountain Members' Care is a volunteer organization of Desert Mountain Members raising money for local, early stage cancer research through fun activities. We provide interesting educational programs for members focused on wellness and prevention to help us stay healthy and happy.
About
Care provided seed-funding to start a new project called Intercept to study sporadic and inherited cancer. Intercept will enable Mayo Clinic to focus on the under-studied cohort of patients whose cancer is not explained by familial occurrence but whose incidence of gene mutation in the general population is thought to be as high as 20%. Exploration of the risks of sporadic cancer are not captured by current treatment guidelines. The key opportunities of this program are to: 1) identify the impact of inherited mutations on cancer behavior, 2) understand the impact of inherited mutations on cancer monitoring, 3) explore personalized strategies for cancer treatment. Intercept testing will determine whether a patient has a sporadic or inherited form of cancer, a critical distinction as it would determine treatment decisions for individual patients. This unique pilot project will offer genetic testing, at no cost, to patient relatives to help inform them of their genetic cancer risk as well.
