Recently, JAMA Oncology published an article compiling approved guidelines for men with BRCA. Attached is a tri-fold brochure summarizing this guidance, intended to inform a lay audience. If you'd like copies of the tri-fold, please let us know at [email protected].

Males are equally as likely to have #BRCA mutations, but fewer men undergo genetic testing than women. Men who carry BRCA mutations face increased risks for pancreatic and prostate cancers, Kara Maxwell told OncLive.com. BasserBRCA spr.ly/6013l9avh

Many men don’t get tested for #brca even with a family history of cancer. Many also don’t change after a positive mutation. My hope is to spread awareness and inspire more to optimize health to improve cancer prevention. BasserBRCA #brca2

Do you have a personal or family history of cancer? You may want to consider genetic testing. If you have a BRCA genetic mutation, this may increase the chance of cancer. Consult with your genetic counselor or doctor to learn more about your options. #curebrca

Have you encountered genetic discrimination because of your BRCA mutation? Has your long-term or disability insurance policy been denied, canceled, or are your premiums high? FORCE is collecting stories to share with the lawmakers. Report here: tfaforms.com/5151933

Thanksgiving is a great time to gather with family and be grateful. It's also the perfect opportunity to share information about family health history. If there is a prevalence of cancer in your family, you may want to consider genetic testing. curebrca.org/resource/finda…

Men need to worry about BRCA too. A recent article in The Atlantic highlights the link between BRCA and pancreatic/prostate cancer in men. It's time to raise awareness. Read the full story here: curebrca.org/men-need-to-wo… #BRCA #MensHealth #CancerAwareness

Today is Rare Disease Day. BRCA mutations are considered rare. However the prevalence is higher in certain populations. If you have family members who have been diagnosed with prostate, breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancers, please consider genetic testing. #RareDiseaseDay2025
