Decision Making About Genetic Testing Among Women With a Personal and Family History of Breast Cancer.

CONCLUSION: Among patients with high genetic risk, clinicians' recommendations, potential treatment implications, and protections against discrimination were motivating factors to undergo genetic testing, but fewer than half recalled clinicians providing all this information, and this did not improve over time. Clinicians influence testing decisions and should inform patients about legal protections and treatment implications. PMID: 31613719 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
