Multi-gene panels are effective but often too delayed

MedPage Today, by Ian Ingram

A recent study by Dr. Allison Kurian of Stanford University School of Medicine provides information on the uptake and outcomes of multigene panels for patients with breast cancer. Researchers surveyed and analyzed data from 5,026 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. They found that 26% of individuals had genetic testing, usually in genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 only. When multi-gene panels were ordered, it was typically by genetic counselors. Authors found that multi-gene panels have enabled much higher detection of clinically relevant mutations without an associated increase in prophylactic mastectomy; however, for many patients, sequencing was performed too late to influence treatment decisions.
