Early detection saves lives! 🕒 Did you know that early cancer diagnosis can save billions in healthcare costs? However, with thousands of genetic variants, identifying risks can be challenging. This is where MAVEs (Multiplexed Assays of Variant Effect) step in. 💪 MAVEs, the heroes of genetic research, help distinguish pathogenic from benign variants, ensuring timely and precise breast cancer detection. They're the game-changer we've been waiting for. Let's make breast cancer a thing of the past with the help of MAVEs!  #BreastCancerResearch #EarlyDetection #MAVEs #constantiambiosciences

According to Breastcancer.org: breast cancer accounts for 12.5% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide, making it the most common cancer in the world. There are several risk factors, but the most common are: Age Family history Genetics Race (Black women are more likely to develop breast cancer) Calculate your risk with the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator. While the results aren't meant as a formal diagnosis, it can help guide a conversation with your doctor. https://lnkd.in/guy537zZ

There were some very interesting presentations today at SABCS! There was certainly an overarching theme for the presentations I attended that stressed the importance of genomic testing! The best quote I heard was from an MD who spoke about agnostic trials and targeted therapies stating "Every cancer patient deserves a comprehensive cancer tumor panel". #SABCS23 #genomics #breastcancer

🚨 Why are Black men more at risk of Prostate Cancer? 🚨 Prostate cancer isn't a one-size-fits-all scenario. It's influenced by genetics and inherited factors. Studies reveal that prostate cancer in Black men often has a different genetic profile, making it more aggressive and often diagnosed at a later stage. 📊 Shocking Stats: African American men are 76% more likely to develop prostate cancer and twice as likely to succumb to it compared to white men. 🙋♂️ Got questions about prostate cancer? We want to hear them! Drop your questions in the comments, and let's start a conversation. 🗣️ Awareness, education, and action are key to closing the gap in Prostate Cancer disparities.

People ask me how AI will impact healthcare. I think one of the best use cases is to identify patients that aren't getting the standard of care. There are many reasons why but often the solutions are simple, like ensure a follow-up procedure occurs or create awareness to a recently updated standard of care. We have been working with TriHealth and Karen Huelsman, MS, LGC to use AI and technology to help close these gaps in care. Come learn how. Tempus AI
