Disparities between Uptake of Germline < em > BRCA1 < /em > / < em > 2 < /em > Gene Tests and Implementation of Post-test Management Strategies in Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer Patients

CONCLUSION: Although BRCA1/2 gene tests have been substantially expanded, the uptake of post-test risk management strategies, including breast cancer screening for BRCA1/2-mutated patients and cascade testing for family members, has remained low. Strategies to increase its uptake and education about the importance of post-test risk managements are needed.PMID:34609091 | PMC:PMC8490789 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2021.36.e241
