This session, led by Dr. Rona Cheifetz, surgical oncologist at BC Cancer’s High Risk Clinic, offers a comprehensive overview of BRCA mutations and what they mean for your health. Dr. Cheifetz explains how these mutations are inherited, how they increase cancer risk, and what steps can be taken to manage that risk. She discusses evidence-based approaches such as screening, preventive surgeries, and current recommendations from BC Cancer’s Hereditary Cancer Program. Regularly one of our most popular sessions, it’s an excellent resource whether you’re newly diagnosed or simply seeking a refresher on the essentials of BRCA genetics and risk management.
