Or is there another gene going on that we can find a drug?

And I've often said to them, why wouldn't you do a full genome?

And they say, oh, it's cost and complexity.

But if it's true of children, why isn't it true of adults?

But it's not a waste of time if you amass that information and you see patterns in the community.

That's not routine in every person with cancer.

So really interesting research, important information for parents to ask their pediatric oncologist in terms of gene testing.

Where does it leave adults with cancer when you're sitting there and you've just been diagnosed and you know that genes are important?

What's the question to ask?

And we should all know who died of what at what age in our close family.

I made a Four Corners last year on early onset cancer.

So this rise in cancers in young people, and it's probably 10 different tumor types.

Is it going down to pediatrics where we're seeing a rise in childhood cancers?

Thank you so much for inviting me.

Dr. Noemi Fuentes-Polaños from the Children's Cancer Institute and Sydney Children's Hospital.

That's a very good way of describing it.

Next time I come on the Health Report, I will.

Thank you.

So you've got to ask a cancer specialist about the tree.
