The Cancer Support Community is pleased to invite you to join us on October 21 at 12 p.m. ET for the second virtual event in a new series called Coffee and Conversation with CSC. Through this series, CSC will invite expert guest speakers to share their perspectives and engage in dialogue with an intimate group of CSC’s supporters on a wide range of topics that have a nexus with cancer. These events are private and by invitation only. Join us!
Hear our speakers, Hans Bishop, CEO of GRAIL, and Cindy Perettie, CEO of Foundation Medicine, discuss one of the greatest unmet needs in cancer: finding cancer early, before it has the chance to spread. Hans will share the latest from GRAIL on innovative blood-based multi-cancer tests for cancers that lack screening. Cindy will draw on Foundation Medicine’s depth in genomic profiling to share the latest on the use of genomic testing for early detection. Both will offer their reflections on the future of innovation in early detection and precision care.
