Hosted by the Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Foundation and the Program in Cancer Genetics at McGill University, BRCA: 15 Years of Progress represents a unique opportunity to look at all aspects of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are responsible for a considerable fraction of early-onset breast cancer.
Some of the finest researchers and clinicians in the world will present their latest data on BRCA1/2: latest research developments, disease management, psychological issues for patients and families and new genome studies.
