Basser Center for BRCA awards 2026 Global Prize to Judy Garber
Judy E. Garber, MD, MPH, of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute is the recipient of the 2026 Basser Global Prize. Awarded by the Basser Center for BRCA at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, the Basser Global Prize recognizes a leading scientist who has advanced BRCA1 and BRCA2-related research. Individuals with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are at an increased risk of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.

It's not an easy read, particularly as a parent, but I found it to be riveting.
In addition to the incredible persistence of Las Abuelas del Plaza de Mayo, I learned the story of Mary-Claire King, pioneering geneticist (she discovered BRCA) who aided the Abuelas in IDing their nietos suquestrados.

Per Pfizer's Oct. 26 release, the expanded Talzenna + Xtandi approval covers HRR-mutated metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, BRCA and non-BRCA (TALAPRO-3, 599 pts). Most common grade 3+ adverse event: anemia, 51% vs 3% in the control arm.

If you have to take estrogen, just make sure you let your medical team know of the family history. Early detection really makes the cancer battle easy, its still super anxiety inducing and frustrating. The outlook and prognosis are far better.

Yes. I had BRCA gene testing, and I didn't have either BRCA1 or BRCA2.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends this week, but family history matters all year. Around 5 to 10% of breast cancers are linked to an inherited gene change like BRCA1 or BRCA2. If breast or ovarian cancer runs in your family, a genetic counsellor can help. rosalindgenetics.com #BRCA

Tits are clear but bc of my family history and my high boob density I am considered high risk so they recommending a BRCA test. DENSE TITTIES YALL.
The titty bus. FYI I would do this a thousand times before a pap smear everyone should get a mammogram, bus is optional.
