Who Gets Breast Cancer?
Over 200,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the United States. About 10% of the women diagnosed had a well-known genetic mutation and almost 1% of breast cancer cases are in men.
Learn about cancer genes and how heredity can play a role in determining an individual's risk for this disease. Hear from medical professionals who are at the forefront of their field, and join in a discussion about genetic testing and counseling.
Panelists include: Emily Brown, genetic counselor at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Elaine Iuanow, radiologist and male breast cancer researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Larissa Lee, senior resident in the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program.
