Happy #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay! At CancerIQ, we’re proud to recognize genetic counselors for their essential role in guiding patients through genetic testing and toward personalized care—whether it’s preventive screenings, proactive surgeries, or targeted therapies. With the right tools, partners, research, and advocacy, we believe genetic counselors can broaden their reach to help even more patients, and get the respect they deserve. Through our VALUE Study, led by the newest member of the CancerIQ team, CGC Brittany Thomas, we’re demonstrating just how impactful genetic risk assessment can be across health systems, paving the way for even greater access and support. Here’s to all the genetic counselors working to make this vision a reality! #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay2024 #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay #IAmAGeneticCounselor

As we close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to call out one customer who has been with us for nearly 10 Breast Cancer Awareness Months: OSF HealthCare in Peoria, Illinois. Back in October 2014, Cindy Martin, MSN, RNC and Oderwald Tenille took a chance on me. At the time, they had an acute problem: Women in their region were being diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 50, and the closest genetic counselor was hundreds of miles away. They wanted people to access high-risk services without needing to drive hundreds of miles or go to an oncologist. In came CancerIQ — we were a fledgling startup with a set of fervent early adopters who were part of our initial product advisory board. OSF HealthCare saw our potential and CancerIQ’s very first contract was signed. Working alongside OSF, we built a solution to assess cancer risk in women during routine mammograms. Then we helped the health system hire and train their own in-house genetics provider who could rely on CancerIQ to deliver genetic evaluations at scale. Fast forward 10 years and OSF HealthCare now has five trained genetics providers on staff. The health system is on pace to serve over 100,000 patients in their community by early 2025; CancerIQ is deeply integrated into their Epic EMR workflows; and they’ve built a $237 million cancer center with state-of-the-art equipment unrivaled in Illinois. When I toured their facilities this past May, I was blown away by their commitment to leading the market in preventive oncology and early detection — and how they cared so much for their patients, giving them the very best experience and wraparound support. I was also proud to see how CancerIQ’s technology was core to their broader mission of bringing the latest innovations in cancer care directly to patients in the heartland. Because of OSF, October isn’t just Breast Cancer awareness month, it’s a month to celebrate the positive change you can make on an entire community when you have the right people with the right vision, and put them together with innovators equally passionate about change. Thank you OSF, for constantly living up to your mission, seeing the vision of the future and making headway in the fight against cancer. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish next. Stay tuned for more on this in the coming year! #breastcancerawarenessmonth

CHICAGO?and?OMAHA, Neb.,?Oct. 8, 2024?/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nebraska Medicine, the clinical partner of the?University of Nebraska Medical Center, achieved a nearly 6x increase in lung cancer risk assessment completion through a collaboration with CancerIQ, a best-in-class cancer-focused precision health platform. The results of the lung cancer early detection campaign, which focused on risk assessment outside of the clinical setting, will be presented at the upcoming Association of Cancer Care Centers (#ACCC) National Oncology Conference. Supported by CancerIQ, Nebraska Medicine developed and launched a lung cancer early detection campaign in 2023 led by Rachael Schmidt, Program Director for Cancer Survivorship & Cancer Risk. The two-month program targeted patients with a recorded history of smoking. Those patients received patient portal messages, emails or fliers in the mail encouraging them to complete a cancer risk assessment. Of the patients who completed the assessment, 30.3% were deemed eligible for a low-dose CT scan and a shared decision-making appointment, and 41.3% were deemed eligible for additional preventive services such as high-risk breast screening or genetic testing.

Today is #PrevivorDay— a day that’s the heart of our mission at CancerIQ For those who may not be familiar, Previvor Day is a celebration of those individuals who, armed with genetic insights and empowered by preventive actions, have been able to avoid a cancer diagnosis that once seemed all but certain. It’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we focus on using all the tools at our fingertips to help intercept cancer. At CancerIQ, we are driven by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to be a previvor – whether because of a genetic predisposition to cancer, a lifestyle choice that can be managed now, a barrier to adherence we can make less intimidating, or a family history we haven’t quite cracked the DNA code for yet. Our work is about more than just technology—it’s about scaling what we know works to help patients understand their risks and make proactive choices that can change their lives. It’s about equipping healthcare providers with the tools they need to make risk-based care an accessible reality for all of their patients, ultimately reducing the burden of hereditary cancer on countless families. To me, Previvor Day is incredibly personal and profoundly inspiring because of the strength of those who face a genetic risk with courage, the healthcare providers who support them, and the families whose futures are rewritten thanks to these life-changing interventions. Today, I want to honor the resilience of the previvors who chose prevention over fear and the tireless dedication of the healthcare professionals who make that possible. This day is a testament to why our work matters: it’s not just about treating cancer, it’s about making sure that fewer people have to face it in the first place. Here’s to the power of prevention, to all the previvors out there, and to continuing our mission of creating a future where cancer is not inevitable, but preventable and detectable when we can get ahead of it!
