Changing patterns of referrals and outcomes of genetic participation in gynaecological ‐oncology multidisciplinary care

ConclusionChanging indications and increased participation by a genetic consultant in the weekly MDT meeting has led to increasing genetic referrals over the last five years. Follow up of referrals needs to be addressed. With decreasing costs of genetic testing and use of readily transportable DNA collected through saliva or mouth swabs, we propose that distance should not be a barrier to this model being extended to all centres providing care to gynaecological cancer patients.
