A deeply personal exploration of breast cancer, genetic inheritance, and the future of medicine.

What would you do if you knew you carried a gene that significantly increased your risk of breast and ovarian cancer? Journalist Lizzie Stark delves into this question, sharing her family's story of grappling with BRCA mutations and the legacy of cancer they carry. Pandora's DNA explores the complex legal, scientific, and ethical issues surrounding these so-called breast cancer genes, from the history of prophylactic surgery to the landmark lawsuit against Myriad Genetics.
