Stories
Nila Charles
Using genetic results to guide care for a whole family
After a breast-cancer diagnosis, Nila learned through Weill Cornell’s genetic testing program that she carried a BRCA2 variant. The result helped guide her treatment and preventive decisions, while the team helped relatives get tested so the family could make more informed choices about their health.

Completing a difficult MRI with patient support
Earlier attempts at closed MRI had failed because of Caroline’s severe claustrophobia. With medication and patient support from Weill Cornell’s team, she completed a two-hour examination and felt more confident about returning if another MRI was needed.
