💗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗 Every year, 2.3 million women hear the words, “You have breast cancer.” Globally, it claims 670,000 lives. In India alone, 1 in 28 women will face this disease during their lifetime. Yet, there is hope. 🌸 If detected early, over 90% of women survive. Early checks, timely screenings, and healthy habits can make the difference between life and loss. 👉 Know the signs: a lump, changes in breast shape or skin, unusual discharge, or persistent pain. 👉 Take a few minutes for self-checks. Encourage your loved ones to do the same. At ICGA Foundation, our mission is to empower science and society — building cancer genomics resources and advancing research so that every woman’s fight against breast cancer is met with knowledge, care, and hope. Let’s stand together — for our mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. 💕 @anandesh @Ravimehro7 @KoppikerCb @shekhar_mande @AnuragAgrawalMD @suveeradhup @r_sabarinathan @arvindkmurthy

🔬 Six Conversations. One Shared Goal. Over the past weeks, #ICGAVoices has taken you through powerful perspectives from experts across India and beyond. Today, we pause to re-cap — and reflect on where this conversation is headed. How can India build its own cancer genome map — for better diagnosis, fairer treatment, and improved survival? Here’s what we’ve explored so far: 1️⃣ India’s Cancer Crisis – We Need Our Own Data (Prof. Shekhar Mande) Why Western datasets don’t tell India’s cancer story — and why we must build our own. 2️⃣ Cancer Genomics as a Public Good (Dr. Anand Deshpande) A vision for an Indian-led, equitable cancer genome resource — built for science and for society. 3️⃣ The Hidden Crisis in North-East India (Prof. A.C. Kataki) The country’s highest cancer burden — yet almost no genomic data to explain it. 4️⃣ Rare Subtypes. Big Opportunity (Prof. Anguraj Sadanandam) How India’s diversity can drive global innovation in diagnostics and treatments. 5️⃣ Your Genes, Your Treatment (Dr. Philip Beer) Why precision medicine must be built on data that reflects Indian patients. 6️⃣ Biology Is the King (Prof. Chintamani) Why cancer care should be guided by molecular biology, not just anatomy. 📌 Our journey so far Founded as a Section 8 not-for-profit company in 2020–21, ICGA set out to map India’s cancer genome. In 2024, we launched our data portal, bringing together partners in a longitudinal data consortium — a landmark step toward transforming cancer research and care in India. Where we are today: Building India’s first comprehensive cancer genome resource — safeguarding privacy, ensuring quality, and laying the foundation for nationwide impact. Where we are headed: A world-class, equitable cancer genomics platform for India, designed to empower research, improve care, and inspire collaboration across the country. 🤝 Become a member and stand with us in building India’s cancer genome map: zurl.co/rV0Jw 📅 Meet us at our Annual Meeting – ICGA2025 (14–16 Nov, IIT Madras) to see where the conversation is headed and how you can be part of shaping India’s cancer genomics future. zurl.co/GDQjk 🎥 Watch all episodes of #ICGAVoices: zurl.co/GlaC0 @DrJitendraSingh | @rajesh_gokhale | @karandi65 | @shivkuma_k | @anandesh | @StopCancerDoc | @KoppikerCb | @shekhar_mande | @stellensatz | @dr_kataki | @LabSadanandam | @ProfChintamani #ICGAVoices #ICGA2025 #CancerGenomics #CancerInIndia #CancerTreatmentForIndia #GenomicDiversity #DataForGood #GenomicEquity #JoinTheMission

🎥 𝗜𝗖𝗚𝗔 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 | 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶: “𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴” We have treated cancer by location. But it’s biology that really matters. In this powerful hashtag#ICGAVoices reel, senior breast cancer surgeon 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶 calls for a fundamental shift in how we approach cancer treatment — from anatomy to biology. Today, thanks to biomarkers like ER, PR, and HER2, we classify breast cancers not just by TNM staging but by l𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀. This molecular lens changes everything: 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀. 🔬 But here is the challenge: India needs its 𝗼𝘄𝗻 biomarker map—grounded in Indian genomic data. That’s where ICGA comes in. 💡 Let us build systems that treat the right cancer with the right tools for the right patient—in India. 🧬 The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas is mapping the molecular drivers of cancer, cohort by cohort. Support the science. Share the story. 📌 Featuring: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳.

🎥 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Western cancer trials don’t reflect India’s diversity. The result? Misdiagnosis. Missed drugs. Missed cures. In this #ICGAVoices reel, Dr. 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗿explains why precision medicine only works when the data matches the patient — and why India needs its own somatic mutation data. 🧬From EGFR mutations to drug resistance, India’s differences can’t be ignored. 🎬Watch: lnkd.in/gSAibvEK “Your Genes, Your Treatment” 🔗icga.in | #ICGA2025 Missed previous updates?
