While organizations’ guidelines for determining who should seek genetic testing may differ, criteria doctors may consider include a family history of cancers and ages at onset, a patient’s age at diagnosis, as well as the type of cancer. “My own opinion is that everyone should be informed about it and make their own decision,” Euhus said.
“ help patients make informed decisions, ensure they receive appropriate and up-to-date recommendations, educate them about risks to relatives, and provide support.” “The problem is the false positives that lead to more imaging tests, more biopsies and sometimes unnecessary surgery. That is why you really need to reach a certain risk level before you start recommending screening,” Euhus explained.
