Few at-risk relatives complete cascade genetic testing despite its potential public health impact.

Five facts explain why male #breastcancer happens and what changes its outcome. They involve where the first sign shows up, how the disease runs in families, what raises risk and why treatment still borrows from research on women.

Same risk, different access to genetic testing.

📢 A survey across 21 ERN GENTURIS countries shows marked variation in germline testing for #HereditaryCancer 🧬
✨ Harmonised standards and clinical pathways are needed to improve equitable access to genetic diagnostics.

Coming from a family of sisters, I very much enjoyed telling the story of these 2 #badass sisters, both diagnosed w/a #BRCA2 mutation that drove their early-stage #breastcancer.
#Hereditarycancer happens, but u can manage yr risk! More info in my @fredhutch.org story. #CanSky #HCAW #knowyourrisk

Telegenetics can help close gaps in cancer genetic care: nearly 90% of local providers joined a collaborative model, highlighting its potential to expand access nationwide. #GIMO #PrimaryCare #Telehealth #HereditaryCancer #GermlineTesting #GeneticTesting

Context matters. Phone-based #patientnavigation did not improve genetic service use beyond usual care in a setting with established universal tumor screening—but may still help in lower-access settings. bit.ly/4h97DAQ #CRC #hereditarycancer #genetictesting

This study included females surviving at least 5 years after a childhood cancer diagnosis, from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and the St.
