Joining FORCEs Conference - June 23-25

·         What’s in your genes? The Joining FORCEs conference is an annual forum on hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The conference is a worthwhile experience for anyone concerned about hereditary cancer: cancer survivors, high-risk individuals, those with a BRCA mutation or family history of cancer, and health care providers who treat high-risk patients. Get updates from leading researchers on BRCA and hereditary cancer.  Learn about standard-of-care and cutting-edge options available for lowering cancer risk or for detecting cancer early. Learn strategies for coping with being high-risk and/or a carrier of a BRCA mutation and strategies for sharing risk information with family members. There’s even a session on triple-negative breast cancers!  For more information, go to Joining FORCEs 2011.
