Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women.

Learn what your risk is for breast cancer. Attend a free seminar at Thomas Jefferson University sponsored by the division of Genetic and Preventive Medicine.

The 60-minute sessions will include information about:

• understanding breast cancer risk factors
• the genetics of breast cancer and genetic testing
• screening and risk reduction measures.

They will be offered on the following dates:

• Thursday, February 16, noon - 1 p.m.
• Tuesday, February 28, 6 - 7 p.m.
• Wednesday, March 1, noon - 1 p.m.

Referrals to screening services will be provided at each session. The goal of these hour- long discussions is for each attendee to gain a healthier understanding of their individual risks, and become mindful of the risk reduction measures accessible to them.
