This course will guide you through the essentials of colorectal genomic testing, from understanding IHC, MSI and methylation to applying this knowledge confidently in clinic. Using real clinical scenarios, we’ll cover offering R210/R211 testing, taking and interpreting an effective family history, and managing results discussions with patients.

Key topics include:

Presenting cases at MDT
Interpreting complex or uncertain results – does negative really mean negative?
