About the BRCA network:
The association BRCA-Netzwerk e.V. - Hilfe bei familiärem Krebserkrankungen was founded in 2010 as a representative of those affected themselves. The aim is to offer easily accessible exchange and information opportunities. The association works in cooperation with the German Consortium for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer and is funded by the German Cancer Aid Foundation (DKH). The network provides information and advice at specialist events and patient information days. Another focus of its commitment is the representation of patient interests in committees and research. The patient representative for the CCC Hannover (Claudia von Schilling Center) of the MHH is Ms. Andrea Hahne, advisor to the board of the BRCA network.
