Genetic Testing for Every Breast Cancer Patient: Would it be Real?
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Approximately 10 to 15 percent of breast cancers can be attributed to a hereditary genetic mutation. In fact, since guidelines and tests are not well known today, only one out of five breast cancer patients who follow current guidelines are referred for genetic testing. Likewise, while most of the guides tends to give importance to details, it makes the doctors difficult to follow the management scheme, and as a result, the patient’s examinations may not be completed. Our aim is to provide a brief, memorable summary for the current genetic tests and indications.
