As the coordinating genetic counselor for the Jewish Women’s Breast and Ovarian Cancer Genetics Study at New York University School of Medicine, I would like to highlight the fact that such significant research cannot be done without the support and enthusiasm of the Jewish community. Therefore, NYU has decided to engage the Jewish community by presenting educational seminars about breast and ovarian cancer genetics and our study to various groups. However, our work has just begun, and we have many more communities to reach.
Ultimately, we hope our efforts, along with the results of the other research studies, such as those mentioned in the article, will lead to incredible advancements in the field of breast and ovarian cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. For additional information, please contact me at genetics.research@nyumc.org or 212-263-5528.
