Adrienne, Cancer Patient Advocate Keynote, at 2019 CRI Immunotherapy Patient Summit in Baltimore

Adrienne Skinner, a CRI ImmunoAdvocate, shares her story at the 2019 CRI Immunotherapy Summit in Baltimore. https://www.cancerresearch.org/summit #CRIsummit #LynchSyndrome #CancerStory Adrienne explained that she had minimal side effects and was able to maintain an active and busy lifestyle - balancing treatment, work, and raising four daughters. Today, over three years since her last treatment, she remains cancer-free. In 2005, Adrienne learned that she had Lynch syndrome, an inherited mutation of the mismatch repair DNA pathway that significantly increased her risk for several types of cancer, especially cancers of the colon and uterus at an early age. She had regular colonoscopies and other procedures in an effort to detect cancer early. However, the cancer went undetected, and in 2013, she was diagnosed with metastatic ampullary cancer, a rare cancer of the small intestine’s duodenum.
