Clear and concise reporting

The main goal of genetic test reporting is to provide a clear, concise, accurate, fully interpretative and authoritative answer to a clinical question

BRCA mutation prevalence within the breast cancer subpopulations

Breast cancer patients can be categorised into subpopulations by considering the status of their associated HR and HER2 biomarkers

Germline BRCA mutation testing

Germline BRCA testing can be used to identify the risk of breast cancer development in unaffected relatives

The oncogenetic pathway

In the oncogenetic pathway, a referral for a genetics appointment is offered to any patients who are found to carry a BRCA mutation

The classification of variants

Germline BRCA testing can be used to identify the risk of breast cancer development in unaffected relatives

The importance of the multidisciplinary team

The MDT provides access to the range of collaborative professional knowledge and recommendations that is required to help make informed treatment decisions
