Check out this podcast from @PECGSnetwork #Optimum @gliomaregistry @TheLizArmy

A little snow won't stop us! #OPTIMUM and @PECGSnetwork win the Reviewers' Choice Award for their poster on sharing personalized research results with study participants at the @GeneticsSociety Annual Meeting in Denver.

Recently, #OPTIMUM, a study within the @gliomaregistry enrolled its 200th research participant! #OPTIMUM seeks to understand how treatment and genetics are related to #glioma evolution.

Newly diagnosed with an #Idh positive glioma? Consider joining @gliomaregistry for news on the topic- you can also participate in our research project sponsored by @PECGSnetwork #moonshot visit gliomaregistry.org for info

WATCH: NCI's Cancer Information Service is ready to answer your cancer-related questions whether you are someone with cancer, a family member or friend, a health care provider, or a researcher. cancer.gov/contact

Patient engagement is key to cancer research. @JCO_ASCO Commentary by members of @PECGSnetwork explores barriers to participants full involvement and proposes solutions to overcome them. Read more: bit.ly/PECGS-JCO

Eirian Siegal-Botti from ⁦⁦@count_me_in⁩ and ⁦@broadinstitute⁩ presenting ⁦@PECGSnetwork⁩ ⁦@the_osproject⁩ @AgentsMIB⁩ Factor conference. Thanks to ⁦@AgentsMIB⁩ and #osteosarcoma participants for your partnership in research.

@gliomaregistry has recieved funds from @theNCI @PECGSnetwork #cancermoonshot to better include persons who report being of Hispanic background -contact glioma@yale.edu or @MathewKrick if want more info!!#saludtues

Cancer research is a vast, complex enterprise that involves researchers from many disciplines. It also relies heavily on the participation of patients and healthy volunteers, without whom #CancerResearch would not be possible. go.nih.gov/6XczMxv #NationalCancerResearchMonth

@gliomaregistry @PECGSnetwork working with @SaludAmerica to provide education re #glioma #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth

Great to be at #AACR24 where #PECGS investigators discussed how community liaisons implemented culturally tailored programs to improve cancer genetic education & increase participation in genetic counseling, risk assessment, & genetic research via @theNCI funded projects.

The @PECGSnetwork (Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing Research Network) is intended to accelerate #CancerResearch. Learn more about this collaborative effort that is part of #BidenCancerMoonshot spr.ly/6010wcUUA

@Enrique_VelVi @NCICRCHD @cityofhope Congratulations!

#AACR24 It was truly an honor to receive the Minority Serving Institution Faculty Scholar award #MICR #Molecular Characterization of #ColorectalCancer in #Hispanics #Latinos #WES #RNAseq #Spatial #Transcriptomics @PECGSnetwork @NCICRCHD @cityofhope

Hear about implementing culturally tailored programs to improve cancer genetic education and increase participation in genetic counseling, risk assessment, and genetic research at this #AACR24 session. #PECGS #CancerMoonshot abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20272/s…

Exciting news! @PECGSnetwork was featured on HealthCast. @bfdrake discusses @WashU_PECGS work on rare & understudied cancer populations. Leah Mechanic from @theNCI shares how #PECGS is advancing health equity & cancer precision medicine. Check it out: bit.ly/3vBxNZ5

The @PECGSnetwork aims to promote and support the engagement of people with cancer and post-treatment cancer survivors as participants in an expansion of cancer genomic sequencing. Learn more: spr.ly/6018XQIZg @NCICancerCtrl #CancerMoonshot #NationalCancerPlan

Privileged to be one of the #CancerMoonshot initiatives. We're committed to advancing cancer research through engagement with patients, their loved ones, and communities. Our focus? Promoting cancer genome sequencing for rare & high disparity cancers. pe-cgs.org

The AACR Cancer Disparities Research Fellowships provide $130,000 over two years to support postdoctoral or clinical research fellows conducting cancer disparities research and help them establish a successful career path in this field. Apply by April 16: bit.ly/3V0Tyfu

Fortunate to be part of the bi-annual Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos Conference this week and to share how @count_me_in @gliomaregistry @USCCOPECC in @PECGSnetwork are striving to optimize Hispanic/Latino engagement in their cancer genomics research.

ICYMI: Check out this Sept 2023 webinar “Addressing Cancer Disparities through Patient Engagement and Genome Science” with Drs. Mariana Stern, PhD and John Carpten, PhD from @USCCOPECC in @PECGSnetwork. They share key findings & discoveries made so far. #topics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">epi.grants.cancer.gov/events/underst…
