From the Editor

Greetings!

The Mid-Atlantic Cancer Genetics Network is pleased to present to you the premiere issue of the MACGN Newsletter. The newsletter will not only update you on MACGN activities but also keep you in touch with the events at the National Cancer Institute and the national Cancer Genetics Network. It will provide information on genes and diseases, with a focus on breast/ovarian and colon/rectal cancers. In addition, the newsletter will highlight ways in which you can maintain and improve your health. We hope the information in this and future issues will help you and your family live long and healthy lives.

Sincerely,
John W. Kim, Editor
