How to facilitate genetic testing for individuals at high-risk for hereditary cancers? Offer immediate genetic testing
Genetic testing can help identify those at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome. Yet, fewer than one-fifth of individuals who are eligible have undergone genetic testing. One obstacle is that the most effective approaches for implementing hereditary cancer risk screening programs have not yet been determined. Catharine Wang and colleagues assessed genetic counseling and testing uptake following the use of a digital cancer genetic risk assessment program. Individuals at 27 healthcare sites across 10 states were screened for genetic cancer risk using CancerIQ, a digital healthcare technology platform. CancerIQ gathers comprehensive patient data and triages patients into different risk tiers. The program facilitates genetic testing orders, creates personalized care plans for patients based on testing results, and monitors all follow-up care. It also supports clinicians via automated alerts to patients and providers when follow up cancer screenings are due. In total, more than 100,000 people were screened and nearly one third were identified as high risk. Sixteen percent of those identified as high risk proceeded with genetic testing.
