Join FORCE's Hereditary Cancer Live Update- March 26th at 2pm ET . Policy updates, new clinical trials & research & more. These updates are for everyone affected including people w a mutation, caregivers & health care providers.
Good news! A recent study showed that the risk of endometrial cancer for those with inherited BRCA mutations are similar people without a mutation. #BehindtheCancerHeadlines
Please share FORCE’s new American Board of Family Medicine Performance Improvement activity on Assessment and Management of Hereditary Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Predisposition in Women with family medicine colleagues.
I just read about an early study to use vaccines to treat pancreatic cancer in FORCE’s XRAY review.
More research is needed but this approach is promising!

There is new information about cancer risk for those of us with BRCA mutations. A recent study looked at the risk of new cancers after having breast cancer.
I learned that people with certain hereditary prostate cancer might be helped by adding Talzenna to treatment. If you have a gene mutation in ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, MLH1, PALB2 or Rad51C like I do, it might help you too.
I learned more about liquid biopsies – tests of blood or other body fluids – for cancer care. In addition to use during cancer treatment, they are being considered for early cancer detection.
