Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic testing is recommended in localized prostate cancer (PCa) with elevated risk and in metastatic PCa. The economics of genetic testing in metastatic PCa has been evaluated but not assessed in localized PCa. We examined the cost utility of germline BRCA testing in localized PCa with high risk of pathogenic variants. METHODS: Cost-utility analysis of germline BRCA testing in localized PCa with (1)...
