Patterns of referral and uptake of BReast CAncer (BRCA) gene testing of eligible women with ovarian cancer in New Zealand.

CONCLUSIONS: The New Zealand rate of referral to genetic counselling for women with high-grade serous cancer, (HGSC), of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum diagnosed between 2015-2016 is encouraging when compared with others internationally. The rate of BRCA positive pathogenic variants is comparable to international data. PMID: 30789886 [PubMed - in process]
