Considerations in Testing for Inherited Breast Cancer Predisposition in the Era of Personalized Medicine.

Abstract excerpt

Technological advances realized through next-generation sequencing technologies coupled with the loss of the ability to patent genes have led to reduction in costs for genetic testing. As a result, more people are being identified with inherited breast cancer syndromes that may affect recommendations for surveillance and risk reduction. Surgeons, at the forefront for patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer,...
