Welcome to BRCA+ network

The Belgian network that supports, advocates and informs about genetic predispositions to breast and ovarian cancer

BRCA+ network is the Belgian national association that raises awareness about hereditary cancers linked to a mutation of the BRCA (and similar) genes and supports carriers of such mutations on a practical and psychosocial level.

We are a network of patients and healthcare professionals with one mission: to inform, raise awareness, support, and connect.

✨ We are happy to launch our new guide ‘“Preventive mastectomy: how to prepare and what to expect”, created by patients for patients, with input from our Scientific Committee ✨

Did you know?

A percentage of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers are linked to the presence of an inherited genetic alteration. This means that an abnormality in a gene is present in all cells of the body from birth. This alteration can be passed on to offspring. These situations require personalised monitoring and follow-up.
