Abstract P6-06-01: The changing paradigm of hereditary cancer testing: Comparison of tests in 497 women with breast cancer evaluated at an NCI designated cancer center
Abstract:The Hereditary Cancer Program at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) was established in mid-2012 and provides cancer genetic services to patients and family members who are at risk for family cancer syndromes. During this time, the testing paradigm has markedly shifted from testing a small number of genes to a larger multi-gene set.
HYPOTHESIS AND METHODS:
We hypothesized that multi-gene testing would identify a higher rate of pathogenic mutations in breast cancer patients than… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
