The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and Sharsheret held a free webinar, Ovarian Cancer Genetics 101, focused on genetic counseling, genetic testing and the implications for those who undergo genetic counseling and testing.

Sharsheret's Genetic Counselor Danielle Singer, MS, CGC and Dr. Kristin Zorn, Director of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, UAMS College of Medicine and National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Medical Scientific Advisory Board member discuss the basics of BRCA, Lynch Syndrome, the genetic counseling process, and the psychosocial implications of genetic testing for individuals and families. They also address ovarian cancer genetic screening treatment options and what you should be asking your physician.

Sharsheret, Hebrew for "chain", supports young Jewish women and families facing breast cancer at every stage—before, during, and after diagnosis. They help women and families connect to our community in the way that feels most comfortable, taking into consideration their stage of life, diagnosis, or treatment, as well as their connection to Judaism. They also provide educational resources, offer specialized support to those facing ovarian cancer or at high risk of developing cancer, and create programs for women and families to improve their quality of life. All Sharsheret's programs are open to all women and men. More information may be found at www.sharsheret.org
