JScreen Study on BRCA Screening WSB-TV News Segment

WSB-TV PEACH BRCA segment originally aired on August 7, 2019. Learn about the PEACH (Program for Evaluation of Ashkenazi Cancer Heritability) BRCA Study that provides genetic screening for men and women with Ashkenazi Jewish background who do not have a personal or close family history of BRCA-related cancers, but are at increased risk for carrying a BRCA mutation based on their ancestry. A person who tests positive for a BRCA mutation is at significant risk for developing certain cancers, including breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers. Those who learn that they have a mutation will be provided with options for cancer risk-reduction and will be referred for appropriate follow-up care. The PEACH BRCA Study is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Marcus Foundation, the Florence and Laurence Spungen Family Foundation, the Kay Family Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta, and The Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta.
