Genetics & Breast Cancer: Learnings From the Pathways Study and Clinical Practice

Описание: Do lifestyle and environment matter for genetic risk? How do genes impact breast cancer risk and treatment? How is genetic information used by physicians? Get these questions and more answered in this webinar brought to you by Zero Breast Cancer and Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research.



Christine Ambrosone, PhD (Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center), explained how common genetic variations may impact breast cancer risk when they occur with known lifestyle and environmental cancer risk factors and how the Pathways Survivorship Study has ongoing and planned research on these types of genetic variations. Leslie Manace, MD, MPhil (Kaiser Permanente), explained how genetic testing is relevant for precision medicine to benefit people with hereditary cancer risk and their relatives, and for personalized information regarding tumor prognosis and treatment options.


Lianna Hartmour, MA (Zero Breast Cancer), will host the forum and lead the Q&A with the two researchers and Pathways Principal Investigator Larry Kushi, ScD (Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research).


We hope you will join us to learn more about genetics & breast cancer, ask questions, and offer your ideas for how research can improve health.
