I was really disappointed to miss the first day of my first @GeneticsSociety conference. I'm hoping there are no more flight cancellations or delays to Boston and I can join tomorrow! #ashg2025

Could PARP inhibitors, targeted drugs already used to treat cancer, also help prevent it?
We're part of a coalition of charities that believes the answer could be yes. And we're calling for urgent research to find out.

ALT "We urgently need research to understand the effectiveness of PARP inhibitors as a risk-reducing option - and give the estimated 1 in 400 people in the UK that carry a BRCA alteration a better quality of life." - Simon Vincent, chief scientific officer, Breast Cancer Now
