Does expanded genetic testing benefit Jewish women with breast cancer?
https://www.facingourrisk.org/XRAY/expanded-testing-for-jewish-women-update
In this follow-up, we update a recent review on expanded genetic testing in Jewish women with breast cancer. An expert in the field suggests a different interpretation of the original study than the authors. We examine the key differences in interpretation of the data. (6/7/18)
Questions To Ask Your Health Care Provider
- I had genetic testing in the past, how can I find out which tests were ordered?
- How can I get a copy of my genetic test results?
- I previously tested negative for the
BRCA Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations. Should I be tested for other BRCA mutations?
- Should I be tested for mutations in other, non-BRCA breast cancer genes?
- Can you refer me to a genetic counselor?
- If I test positive for a mutation in another breast cancer gene, what does that mean for me and my family as far as screening, cancer prevention, and treatment choices?
