We estimated the cost effectiveness of BRCA mutation testing in early-stage breast cancer patients with high pre-test probability of harbouring the mutation in Malaysia, an LMIC in Asia.We developed a decision analytic model to estimate the lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs)...
Cost effectiveness analysis of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes: BRCA1 and BRCA2To the Editor: A family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer is associated with an increased chance of carrying a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Numerous societal guidelines...

The test cost was calculated using the charge for full BRCA1/2 gene sequencing (Myriad Genetics, Inc.) multiplied by a Medicare-based cost-to-charge ratio. Counselors spent an average of 4.2 h providing genetic counseling for women at risk of having a susceptibility mutation. Genetic counseling...

It’s important for their providers to test for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations in patients with breast cancer as those with the highest likelihood of developing this mutation are being missed by clinicians, according to Susan M. Domchek, MD, director of the MacDonald Women’s Cancer R...
The cost of genetic testing has plummeted due to advances in sequencing technologies, making it feasible to test for many genes at the same time. “We are finding a growing list of variants because of the expanded scale at which we can now carry out genetic testing,” says Tuya Pal, Assoc...

In both cases the probability of identifying a BRCA gene mutation was 10% and no FM had been characterized.25 Prophylactic surgery was offered to BRCA mutation-positive women. This strategy was cost-effective ($5,000/QALY) when compared with no intervention. Using data from a sensitivity ...
given the varied ethnic composition of the populations. To develop a test that might be useful throughout the region and therefore sufficiently cost-effective, it is first necessary to determine whichBRCA1/2mutations are common in multiple countries. Public insurance coverage for genetic testing is ...
