Caption: 💙 Thank You for Joining Us! 💙

We are so grateful to everyone who joined our webinar on Oncofertility & Cancer Care. Together, we explored the vital connection between cancer treatment, fertility preservation, and future family-building.

Key takeaways:
🔹 Cancer treatment can affect fertility, but preservation options exist
🔹 Egg, embryo, and ovarian tissue freezing offer hope and solutions
🔹 Survivorship includes conversations about quality of life, not just survival
🔹 Family-building has many pathways — from preservation to donation and adoption

Stay tuned for replay details and future events designed to support, educate, and empower.

🚀 Revolutionizing Breast Reconstruction: The Rise of Hybrid Techniques

Despite its benefits, HBR remains underutilized. Our new review explores:
✅ Development of hybrid approaches
✅ Surgical techniques & clinical outcomes
✅ Barriers to adoption
✅ The future of this innovative method in breast reconstruction

Most cancers are not inherited—but some are. In one of our educational webinar, Northwell genetic counselor 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐧, 𝐌𝐒, 𝐂𝐆𝐂 explained how certain inherited gene changes (like BRCA1/BRCA2) can raise risks for 𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫—for women and men—and why a personalized genetic risk assessment can be lifesaving.
