Thanks to your support, this year’s annual Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Schlep proved to be a major success as over 300 participants and supporters came to fight against Breast and Ovarian Cancer and raise money for the Rabin Medical Center’s BRCA Gene Multidisciplinary Clinic. The clinic serves women at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer and is currently conducting a nutritional intervention study to determine if nutrients in cruciferous vegetables can decrease breast cancer in BRCA gene mutation carriers, thus saving lives of this high-risk population.
Dr. Yerushalmi has provided the latest information from the BRCA Gene Multidisciplinary Clinic at the Davidoff Cancer Center at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center.
