The Inherited Cancer Registry (ICARE) is a research initiative representing a clinical-research-community partnership between medical practitioners, researchers, and individuals facing inherited cancer risk. The common goal of our efforts is to improve the lives of individuals and families at risk for inherited cancer susceptibility. As part of our educational outreach, the study team hosts a monthly web-based genetics case conference. Practitioners from across the globe involved in cancer risk assessment practices regularly attend and present cases for discussion. Each month has a focus. Previous topics include Inherited Kidney Cancer, Lynch Syndrome, Breast Cancer, Inherited Blood Syndromes, Gene Specific (PALB2, ATM, CHEK2, others...), and Inherited Pancreatic Cancer. The conference is hosted by GoToWebinar.com. Attendees are invited to register for the online conference two weeks prior and reminded the morning of the conference.
