Timely presentation by @KMaxwellLab as international #LiFraumeniSyndrome Awareness day was earlier this week. So important to understand #TP53 associated breast cancers! #COHGenomics23

“We realize there is a knowledge gap about how BRCA affects men because most research and awareness efforts for BRCA have focused on women.” Learn what men should know about #BRCA from @KMaxwellLab. @BasserBRCA @PennCancer spr.ly/6011OXSoB

Platz #AACR23 Prostate cancer and genetic testing. High risk variant versus high PRS.

Genetic (rare variants and PRS) and non genetic factors need to direct prostate cancer screening - excited to be working on making this a reality with an amazing team Drs. Isla Garraway, Tyler Seibert, @Vi8tor @KOSJ12 @jasonvassy @VAResearch @PCF_Science @BasserBRCA

Amazing work by my husband Jeff Liu, Dr. Camille Ragin and their team addressing H&N cancer disparities - highlighted at the final #AACR23 session! @FoxChaseCancer

Happening now! Very cool work by my graduate student on a super interesting tp53 variant we see in clinic - true bedside to bench science. @LFSAssociation @BasserBRCA @PennCancer #AACR23

Lack of access is probably what is really responsible for lack of diversity in trials. Stop just blaming “medical distrust”, stop using the term “populations that are hard to reach”. There is always a way – but the message and the messenger matter. Karriem Watson #AACR23
