North Alabama Residents can learn their cancer risk
Cancer touches the lives of far too many. It is estimated that 30,210 Alabama men and women will be diagnosed with cancer, and 10,520 will die in 2022. The simple saliva test, offered by Kailos Genetics, screens for the well-known BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes which increase breast and ovarian cancer risk, as well as several dozen other genes linked to breast, ovarian, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and other cancers.
In 2023, we welcomed Dr. Mary-Claire King, the scientist who discovered the BRCA1 gene, back to Huntsville to celebrate our success to date. In 2024, we surpassed 6,500 Information is Power participants. Today, the Information is Power test remains for FREE to those 28-30 years of age in Madison, Limestone, Jackson, Marshall, or Morgan Counties. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, this program continues to offer members of our community an opportunity to learn about cancer risk.
