A little snow won't stop us! #OPTIMUM and @PECGSnetwork win the Reviewers' Choice Award for their poster on sharing personalized research results with study participants at the @GeneticsSociety Annual Meeting in Denver.

[Annie Heffernan @a_e_heffernan]

Recently, #OPTIMUM, a study within the @gliomaregistry enrolled its 200th research participant! #OPTIMUM seeks to understand how treatment and genetics are related to #glioma evolution.

@gliomaregistry has recieved funds from @theNCI @PECGSnetwork #cancermoonshot to better include persons who report being of Hispanic background -contact [email protected] or @MathewKrick if want more info!!#saludtues

[National Cancer Institute @theNCI]

Cancer research is a vast, complex enterprise that involves researchers from many disciplines. It also relies heavily on the participation of patients and healthy volunteers, without whom #CancerResearch would not be possible. https://t.co/6LBOYwjI77

@gliomaregistry @PECGSnetwork working with @SaludAmerica to provide education re #glioma #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth

[PE-CGS @PECGSnetwork]

Great to be at #AACR24 where #PECGS investigators discussed how community liaisons implemented culturally tailored programs to improve cancer genetic education & increase participation in genetic counseling, risk assessment, & genetic research via @theNCI funded projects.

[National Cancer Institute @theNCI]

The @PECGSnetwork (Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing Research Network) is intended to accelerate #CancerResearch. Learn more about this collaborative effort that is part of #BidenCancerMoonshot https://t.co/ajnNcnUfu5

@Enrique_VelVi @NCICRCHD @cityofhope Congratulations!

[NCI Cancer Control @NCICancerCtrl]

Hear about implementing culturally tailored programs to improve cancer genetic education and increase participation in genetic counseling, risk assessment, and genetic research at this #AACR24 session. #PECGS #CancerMoonshot https://t.co/cSBrT3CnOA

[PE-CGS @PECGSnetwork]

Exciting news!
@PECGSnetwork was featured on HealthCast. @bfdrake discusses @WashU_PECGS work on rare & understudied cancer populations. Leah Mechanic from @theNCI
shares how #PECGS is advancing health equity & cancer precision medicine. Check it out: https://t.co/97bbtV6J5F

[National Cancer Institute @theNCI]

The @PECGSnetwork aims to promote and support the engagement of people with cancer and post-treatment cancer survivors as participants in an expansion of cancer genomic sequencing. Learn more:

Fortunate to be part of the bi-annual Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos Conference this week and to share how @count_me_in @gliomaregistry @USCCOPECC in @PECGSnetwork are striving to optimize Hispanic/Latino engagement in their cancer genomics research.

[PE-CGS @PECGSnetwork]

ICYMI: Check out this Sept 2023 webinar “Addressing Cancer Disparities through Patient Engagement and Genome Science” with Drs. Mariana Stern, PhD and John Carpten, PhD from @USCCOPECC in @PECGSnetwork. They share key findings & discoveries made so far.
