We try and talk to them very candidly about what’s known about the legal implications and the insurance implications of this testing, and we make sure that we have their permission before doing the testing.Adam M. Brufsky, MD, PhD: Sometimes when we do somatic gene sequencing, say to lo...

Of women who spoke with relatives specifically about seeking BRCA testing, 12% incorrectly thought they must have an al- tered gene because they already had breast cancer and 49% did not know the answer to this question. No women who indi- cated that a brother or son was the conversation...
Breast cancer (BC) is the commonest cancer in South African women. A proportion are associated with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant in a BC susceptibility gene. Clinical guidelines for genetic testing are used to optimise variant detection while containing costs. We assessed the...

Kristie Kahl: What are genomic assays, and what is their current role in early stage breast cancer?Reshma L. Mahtani, DO: Genomic assays aim to give us a more in-depth understanding of the biology of the individual’s tumor by looking at various levels of gene expression. The information...
Breast Cancer:The survival rates for breast cancer when it is detected and treated early are between 87-99%. Breast cancer is more common in women over the age of 50 years old.Answer and Explanation: Genetic testing is looking for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, which may increase an...
