A Fireside Chat on BRCA in Men

BRCA mutations aren’t just a women’s issue. While women face higher risks, the impact of BRCA on men is often overlooked. In this fireside chat, genetic counsellor and men’s hereditary cancer advocate Justin Lorentz explores what BRCA mutations mean for men — including cancer risks, recommended screening guidelines, and the unique challenges male carriers face.

The discussion also covers family implications, inheritance, stigma, and how we can close the gender gap in BRCA education while strengthening awareness, care, and support for men with BRCA in British Columbia.
