HIS Breast Cancer Awareness

Let's dive into the third and final organization we're giving back to in support of #BreastCancerAwareness, HIS Breast Cancer Awareness. Women aren’t the only ones affected by breast cancer. In fact, 1 out of 1000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. HIS Breast Cancer Awareness is dedicated to spreading awareness about men’s breast cancer and providing free resources to those diagnosed and/or impacted. Cancer doesn’t discriminate, which is why HIS is a trailblazer in this space, openly discussing how breast cancer affects cis men and trans women alike.

Only a small percentage of melanoma is hereditary, but knowing about CDKN2A in the family totally changes screening for melanoma and pancreatic cancer. Martha's story shows how family outreach is super important for CDKN2A families.

On July 25, 2024, JAMA Oncology published the article "BRCA1, BRCA2 and Associated Cancer Risks and Management for Males". This peer-reviewed paper was spearheaded by CureBRCA's Chief Science Officer, Heather H. Cheng, MD, PhD, with key contributions from Kara Maxwell, MD, PhD, Bryson Katona, MD, PhD, and Jeffrey Shevach, MD, along with a distinguished team of international experts. The paper compiles approved guidelines for men with BRCA mutations, providing statistical insights into cancer risks. The collaboration of esteemed international experts in oncology, genetics, and urology has resulted in a valuable resource for BRCA carriers. The concept for the paper emerged from discussions at the annual "CureBRCA Collaborative," which brings together renowned experts to address unmet needs in the BRCA patient/carrier population. It is our foundation's hope that this publication will empower BRCA carriers, by giving them actionable steps to prevent cancer. A companion tri-fold brochure (intended for a lay audience) summarizes the recent BRCA Guidelines for Men, and is available at https://lnkd.in/gjqEZsxn. The BRCA Research & Cure Alliance (CureBRCA) is a registered Illinois not-for-profit private foundation founded by philanthropists Michael and Tanya Polsky. CureBRCA’s mission is to advance the knowledge, prevention, and treatment of individuals and families affected by BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. Learn more here: www.curebrca.org #BRCA #CancerPrevention #GuidelinesForMen #curebrca
