Cell and gene therapies are becoming an increasingly important part of clinical care, making this knowledge more important for genetic counselors in training.

A new study in the Journal of Genetic Counseling found that most genetic counseling programs include some education on cell and gene therapy, though the depth of training varies. The authors point to a shared educational resource as one way to support more consistent learning across programs.

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Timely diagnosis saves lives. Take a second look 👀 at your breasts.⁣ If you notice changes to your breasts, such as a lump, pitting of the skin or pain, go and see a health practitioner for a check-up. ⁣
⁣
Most breast lumps are not cancerous. Those that are, can be more effectively treated if identified early.

✅ Check your breasts ⁣
✅ Get screened regularly ⁣
✅ See your doctor ⁣
✅ Get your annual mammogram done

Understanding the Stages of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent killer” because symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked. Knowing the stages of the disease is important for treatment decisions and awareness. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Stage I – Cancer is limited to the ovaries
• IA: One o***y affected.
• IB: Both ovaries affected.
• IC: Cancer is in one or both ovaries with additional risk, like rupture or cancer cells in abdominal fluid.

Stage II – Cancer has spread to the pelvis
• IIA: Spread to uterus or fallopian tubes.
• IIB: Spread to nearby pelvic tissues (like the bladder or re**um).

Stage III – Cancer has spread beyond the pelvis
• IIIA: Microscopic spread to the abdomen or lymph nodes.
• IIIB: Visible tumors in the abdomen (less than 2 cm).
• IIIC: Larger abdominal tumors or lymph node involvement.

Stage IV – Cancer has spread to distant organs
• IVA: Cancer cells found in fluid around lungs.
• IVB: Spread to distant organs like the liver, spleen, or lungs.

🩺 Early detection saves lives. Ovarian cancer is most treatable in its early stages—but many cases are diagnosed late. Know the signs: bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an aggressive breast cancer that often looks different from other types of breast cancers. It may not cause a distinct lump, and its warning signs can often look like mastitis (an infection of the breast).

On IBC Awareness Day, we're sharing key warning signs to know and highlighting efforts to improve how IBC is identified. Greater awareness among both patients and health care providers can help support earlier and more consistent diagnosis and get people the treatment they need faster.

Learn more about IBC, our collaborative work in this area and resources for patients and clinicians at Komen.org/ibc
