Ever wondered how much your DNA actually impacts your cancer risk? Join us for an easy-to-understand webinar with Kim Provenzano, NP, a genetics expert with over 25 years of experience. She’ll break down the science, bust common myths, and separate fact from fiction. You will learn:
• What genetic testing can (and cannot) tell you
• The difference between medical testing and at-home kits

Whether you're curious about your family history or just want to learn the basics, this session is for you!

As we recognize , it is important to discuss endometrial cancer. 90% of all uterine cancers are endometrial cancers, meaning the cancer starts in the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Here are some facts about this type of gynecologic cancer. If you have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer or any other type of GYN cancer, reach out to us at [email protected] or call (585) 473-8177.

Language equity in cancer care is crucially important. When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, their care should be available in the language they are most comfortable speaking. Language equity promotes health literacy, which helps us to understand our health and systems of care. We are grateful that Elisa DeJesus, MS, AT, from Ibero-American Action League, Inc. took the time to write our most recent blog post about language equity, which she also translated into Spanish.
