Hundreds of people with Jewish ancestry found to have BRCA gene mutation independent.co.uk/news/health/br…

Report from the first year of the NHS Jewish BRCA testing programme. Over 25000 people with Jewish ancestry have now requested BRCA1/BRCA2 testing and over 200 BRCA carriers have been identified. 🧬 jmg.bmj.com/content/early/…

This is important and wonderful work. If you’ve got a Jewish grandparent (or four!) you might want to have a Quick Look…

👋 I’m completing a Masters and looking for HCPs working in secondary care across the urgent suspected cancer pathway to complete a survey on use of risk stratification tools. Ta 👇 imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_50…

@NHSEngland’s new BRCA gene testing programme to identify cancer risk in those with Jewish ancestry could identify more people carrying the gene variation. This means they can seek early access to surveillance and prevention services & could result in more lives saved. Info ⬇️

🗞️From today all people with Jewish ancestry will be able to get BRCA testing. This is the first community wide genetic testing programme and is a huge step forward in enabling more people to know their cancer risk and take measures to prevent cancer! A thread 🧵

Life-saving screening programme launched in the Jewish community Anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent is eligible for BRCA testing thejc.com/news/life-savi… Via @JewishChron

Genuinely ground-breaking & life-saving - free #BRCA home saliva tests to be offered by @NHSEngland to all Jewish people over 18 to detect cancer risk #OvarianCancer #BreastCancer #ProstateCancer bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

Today @NHSEngland launches the NHS Jewish BRCA testing prg. Thanks to all our fantastic partners @royalmarsdenNHS @MFTnhs @ICR_London @NorthThamesGMS @JneticsUK @ChaiCancerCare And to @ProfManchanda for his tireless work to make this a reality. jewishbrca.org

Jews don’t count.

Golders Green this morning. The heart of the Jewish community in North West London. A 5 minute walk from where I grew up. This is not & never has been about Palestine. This is about trying to make British Jews feel unwelcome and threatened where they live. We need your support.

We are developing an App to facilitate Population Genetic Testing. Do register for our online focus group if you would like to help with this. @LynchSyndromeUK @BRCAUmbrella @OvarianCancerUK @ovarcome @Ovacome @TargetOvarian @eveappeal @athenalamnisos1 @MCPlatt @BreastCancerNow

FIT tests can correctly identify about 90% of people with colorectal cancer, according to NICE. bit.ly/3rgVdRe

Patient satisfaction with faecal immunochemical testing was found to be high, yet patients reported lower satisfaction in the delivery of their test results  doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… @NatalieMariaGil @RobertSKerrison @CMCaAlliance @CancerAtSurrey @chrisvonwagner @UCL_BSH

This is excellent news for patients living with prostate and breast cancer linked to changes in their BRCA genes. This shows how genomics is transforming cancer care by identifying key genomic changes that new treatments can target. @NHSgms bbc.co.uk/news/health-65…
