Rafidi said about this experience "I was so proud to represent Palestine in this international conference, and the experience was inspiring, whereby the conference provided a platform for dialogue, cooperation and advocacy. I feel a sense of a new obligation to defend everyone's environment and rights; particularly those who are facing different challenges from those faced by me". She also pointed out that the support provided by them as youth was not limited to logistic aspects, but their participation formed a sense of community spirit and collective identity.

The study focused on using the techniques of (Whole Exome Sequencing) to identify the skin cancer-causing mutations in a Palestinian family. The findings revealed a genetic mutation "ERCC2 (p.R683Q)" which was inherited in the family, which may be responsible for causing the skin cancer.  The study sheds light on the importance of studying genetic mutations of cancer patients and their families in Palestine to guide the diagnosis and management for patients and their families.
