Backed by Research Creative expression isn't just a hobby—it’s a validated practice that supports emotional well-being, stress reduction, and connection during the cancer journey. Over the past decade, a growing body of research has demonstrated the benefits of engaging in the arts for those affected by cancer. From painting and drawing to collage and mixed media, visual art-making offers meaningful ways to cope with uncertainty, process emotions, and reduce treatment-related distress. Reduces Emotional Distress and Anxiety A 2021 systematic review in Frontiers in Psychology found that art therapy interventions significantly reduced anxiety, depression, and distress in breast cancer patients. Many participants reported increased relaxation, improved mood, and a deeper sense of control [1]. Improves Quality of Life In a 2020 randomized controlled trial, women undergoing breast cancer treatment who participated in art-based interventions reported enhanced emotional and psychological quality of life. Activities like painting and mandala creation provided a calming outlet for stress and a structured way to express difficult emotions [2]. Decreases Fatigue and Boosts Self-Efficacy A 2018 study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management found that art-making helped reduce treatment-related fatigue and fostered a sense of self-efficacy—particularly valuable for individuals navigating long-term or metastatic care [3]. Enhances Emotional Processing and Connection: According to a 2019 study in Arts & Health, breast cancer patients participating in group-based visual art sessions reported increased self-awareness, emotional expression, and peer connection. Creating art in community helped reduce isolation and build resilience [4]. Art On Demand A cancer diagnosis can ignite our deepest fears, and while navigating this life-altering experience, we often lose touch with the present moment. Through art, we hold the power to manage our stress, make sense of our now, and relax into moments of stillness. Express yourself, get it out, connect with others, and find your breath again. Click on the videos below to watch Why It Matters At SurvivingBreastCancer.org, we recognize that emotional and mental well-being are essential aspects of whole-person care. Our Art Expression workshops are informed by this research and designed to: Create a safe space for emotional exploration Reduce stress and anxiety through mindful creativity Build a sense of control and agency during uncertain times Foster connection with others walking a similar path Whether you're coping with a new diagnosis, in active treatment, or living with metastatic breast cancer, art can offer comfort, insight, and a quiet moment of peace.

Genetics play a significant role in breast cancer risk. Discover how genes like BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 affect susceptibility to breast cancer development. > Discover Your Risk: Understanding Breast Cancer Genetics Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, prompting many individuals to seek information about their genetic risk. This guide discusses key genetic factors linked to breast cancer and explains how you can take proactive steps toward better health. The Basics of Breast Cancer Genetics We All Have the BRCA1 Gene (and That’s OK) It may surprise some to learn that every person has the BRCA1 gene, (pronounced “BRAH-kuh”) among many other genes that have been associated with cancer. The presence of these gene by itself does not mean you will develop cancer. In fact, we all have many genes that help our bodies function, and BRCA1 is one of them. Problems arise only when there is a mutation —an alteration or change—in certain genes that disrupts their normal function. Why It Matters BRCA1’s Role: When functioning correctly, the BRCA1 gene helps repair DNA breaks that can lead to cancer. Mutation vs. Normal Gene: Only mutated versions of BRCA1 (or other cancer-related genes) significantly increase your risk. This distinction is crucial for understanding personal health and risk factors. Did you know? BRCA stands for BReast CAncer gene. Both men and women can carry these genes and pass them down to children. On The Podcast What is a Variant of Uncertain Significance? Listen Now Genetic Testing for Hereditary Breast Cancer with Dr. Mártir-Negrón Listen Now Prophylactic Mastectomy and BRCA Mutation: A Personal Story with Amy Gallagher Listen Now Michelle Sandlin, Living Her Best Life with BRCA 1 Listen Now Realities of Knowing Your Genetic Results Came Back Positive Listen Now Genetic Testing - Should My Kids be Tested? Listen Now On The Blog Genetic Testing for Cancer- What You Need To Know Genetic testing. What exactly is it and how does it concern you? Why is it important that you get tested and why are there conflicting conversations surrounding the topic? These were some of the questions I had walking into the podcast interview with Fatima Amir, a Genetic Counselor at Dana Farber. Read More Hereditary (or Germline) vs. Sporadic Breast Cancer: Key Differences and Implications Breast cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers among women, can be categorized into two main types: hereditary (or germline) and sporadic. Understanding the distinctions between these types is crucial as they differ in causes, risk factors, and implications for treatment and prevention. Read More My Previvor Story After putting extra hormones in my body during the IVF process, I knew that I would always be at a higher risk for some cancers. Little did I know, that is not what was putting me at a higher risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Read More What is a Genetic Mutation A genetic mutation is a permanent alteration or change in the usual sequence of DNA in a gene. Think of your genes as an instruction manual. When an instruction (sequence) is out of place, it can cause an entire process in the body to go awry. Somatic vs. Germline Mutations Germline mutations are inherited from a parent and are present in every cell of your body from birth. If one parent carries a germline mutation, there is a 50% chance of passing it on to each child. Somatic mutations happen during a person’s lifetime and are not inherited from parents. They occur in only certain cells and are usually caused by environmental factors, lifestyle factors, or random mistakes when cells divide. Somatic mutations cannot be passed on to your children. Key Takeaways Not All Mutations Lead to Cancer: Many genetic changes are harmless or have minimal impact. High-Risk Mutations: Mutations in genes like BRCA1, BRCA2, and others can impair DNA repair, leading to an elevated cancer risk. Breast Cancer–Related Genes While BRCA1 is often in the spotlight, several other genes can influence your likelihood of developing breast cancer—plus, new risk-associated genes continue to be discovered. Notable examples include: BRCA2 Similar in function to BRCA1; responsible for DNA repair Mutations can increase the risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers TP53 Known as the “guardian of the genome” for its role in preventing abnormal cell growth Mutations can lead to Li-Fraumeni syndrome, associated with multiple cancers PTEN A tumor suppressor gene linked to Cowden syndrome Increases risk of breast, thyroid, and endometrial cancers ATM Plays a critical role in DNA damage response Mutations can lead to increased breast cancer risk CHEK2 Involved in cell cycle regulation Mutations can modestly increase breast cancer risk STK11 Associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome Increases risk for breast, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal cancers PALB2 Carrying a hereditary cancer gene mutation can raise the likelihood of developing more than just breast cancer. Some of the cancers associated with BRCA1, BRCA2, and other related genes include: Ovarian Cancer Prostate Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Male Breast Cancer Melanoma Why These Genes Matter Risk Assessment: Knowing whether you carry a mutation in one or more of these genes informs your breast cancer screening schedule, often leading to earlier and more frequent screening. Personalized Medicine: Genetic testing can guide individualized prevention and treatment strategies, such as risk-reducing surgeries, enhanced screening protocols, or targeted therapies. Ongoing Discovery Researchers are continually uncovering new genes associated with inherited breast cancer risk. Staying informed about the latest developments in genetic testing is especially important for individuals with a strong family history of breast or related cancers Genetic Testing & Counseling If you have a strong family history of breast, ovarian, or other associated cancers, consider genetic testing. A licensed genetic counselor can guide you through: Risk Assessment Reviewing personal and family medical history Evaluating the appropriateness of genetic testing Types of Genetic Tests BRCA-only tests focus on BRCA1 and BRCA2 Multigene panels screen for multiple genes simultaneously (BRCA, TP53, ATM, etc.) Test Interpretation Understanding positive, negative, or “variant of uncertain significance” (VUS) results Exploring implications for family members Action Plan Enhanced screening (e.g., earlier mammograms, breast MRI) Risk-reducing surgeries (e.g., mastectomy, oophorectomy) Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, avoiding tobacco) Articles Just For You 1 2
