The NHS Jewish BRCA Testing Programme, which has seen over 30,000 people of Jewish ancestry sign up, will be closing soon.

Both men and women carrying BRCA gene changes face increased risks of several cancers — including up to a 79% lifetime risk of breast cancer and up to a 35% lifetime risk of prostate cancer.

Knowledge is crucial for proactive risk management, including early detection and prevention strategies.

Members of the community have until 31 October 2025 to click here and register for free BRCA gene testing through the NHS.
