Join us to learn from experts about Ashkenazi Jews’ one-in-forty risk
of inheriting a BRCA gene mutation. Having a BRCA gene mutation significantly increases one’s risk of developing ovarian, prostate and male and female breast cancer.
Panelists will discuss BRCA gene mutation screening, genetic counseling, managing cancer risk and resources available for BRCA positive individuals and their families.
Individuals who have a BRCA gene mutation will share their stories followed by a Q&A session.
