September is the awareness month for both prostate and ovarian cancer. One in every eight men develop prostate cancer, and one in every 70 women develop ovarian cancer. Despite the difference in prevalence, both these cancers are strongly related to hereditary risk factors, including BRCA1, BRCA2, and several other genes you may not be familiar with. Join this webinar to learn about the genetic connections between prostate and ovarian cancer and how understanding these connections can make a difference for early detection and risk reduction of these cancers.
Scott M. Weissman, MS, CGC, the Sarnoff Center Genetic Counselor, presented this webinar in conjunction with jHealth for JUF and associated agency employees.
