Cancer Treatment for People with Inherited CDKN2A Mutations
Currently there are no cancer treatments approved specifically for people with a CDKN2A mutation, nor guidelines for treating cancer written specifically for people with a CDKN2A mutation. People with a CDKN2A mutation who are diagnosed with cancer may benefit from testing and may qualify for clinical trials looking for more effective treatments for cancer.
