DESCRIPTION:Join Sharsheret’s Israel Office in partnership with the Israel Cancer Research Fund(ICRF) for exciting breast cancer research updates with Dr. Albert Grinshpun\, MD\, MSc. Dr. Grinshpun’s ICRF-funded research is changing the way doctors can monitor cancer treatments\, using a simple blood test or “liquid biopsy.” Moderated by Liora Tannenbaum\, Sharsheret’s Israel Region Director\,  this webinar will provide updates on this research and other advances in breast cancer research coming out of Israel.\n\nRegister here.\n\nPlease contact Bonnie Beckoff with any questions or for more information.\n\n\n\nExpert Bio:\n\nDr. Albert Grinshpun completed his M.D. at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, Israel in 2010. During his M.D. he also completed M.Sc. in gene therapy. Then\, he went on and completed his service in the Israel Defense Forces\, followed by a residency in Medical Oncology at the Sharett Institute of Oncology of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center\, Jerusalem. \nDuring training\, Albert accomplished a basic research fellowship at the Weizmann Institute where he investigated tumor microbiome. Notably\, while being a resident\, Albert won several highly prestigious competitive grants including the Ministry of Science Personalized Medicine grant\, Physician-Scientist award from the Israel Science Foundation (ISF)\, and the Conquer Cancer (ASCO)-Israel Cancer Research Fund Career Development Award. \nAfter completion of his training\, Dr. Grinshpun joined the international Goldfarb Advanced Fellowship program in Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston. Albert studied mechanisms of endocrine resistance in metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and ctDNA studies\, mentored by Drs. Lin and Jeselsohn of Dana-Farber. In parallel\, Albert was involved in translational research\, clinical trial design and multidisciplinary patient care. \nDr. Grinshpun has published more than 40 peer reviewed original articles. Among these publications are manuscripts published in Annals of Oncology and JAMA Oncology. \nIn August 2023 Albert returned to Israel and currently he’s leading the Breast Oncology Service at Shaare Zedek Medical Center\, Jerusalem.

SUMMARY:Healthcare Professional Training: Simple Coping Mechanisms to Reduce Cancer-Related Stress in Patients
DESCRIPTION:Sharsheret’s free\, one-hour training\, Simple Coping Mechanisms to Reduce Cancer-related Stress in Patients is an interactive training that explores imagery and metaphors to assist patients with the anxiety that commonly accompanies diagnoses\, treatment\, and survivorship.  These tools\, meant to be shared with patients\, are intentionally familiar\, and easily recalled\, to be used during moments of unexpected stress\, to allow the patient to reframe their thoughts surrounding a particular concern. While these tools are not meant as a replacement for ongoing therapy for those who need\, they do allow for a non-threatening introduction to the topic of mental health. Also included is an introduction to Sharsheret’s free psychosocial support for breast and ovarian cancer patients. \nFree CME credit may be available through ASWB\, NYSW\, ANCC\, NSCG\, and ACCME. \nRegister here. \nContact Melissa Rosen\, Director of Training and Education\, with any questions.
