‘Aggressive prostate cancer’ is a subjective term, Gleason score is judged by humans - 6 not aggressive and 7 is aggressive.... Isn’t it time to germline test all prostate cancer patients? All cancer patients? #freeTheDNA @DrRakeshPatel @md_rosen @WhitworthMD @NoelPugh
It’s estimated that 13% of men in the U.S. will develop prostate #cancer within their lifetime.
Recently updated #NCCN guidelines recommend that all men with aggressive #prostatecancer consider #genetictesting, regardless of family history. Learn more: ow.ly/nZG550EO03c

The emperor (NCCN) is still naked - guidelines to decide which cancer patients need germline genetic testing DO NOT WORK & harm patients AND THEIR FAMILIES! It is time to pressure the @NCCN to change their antiquated economic road blocks (guidelines). #FreetheDNA @DrRakeshPatel
New @MayoClinic study finds that 1 in 6 patients with #colorectalcancer had an inherited cancer-related gene mutation, which likely predisposed them to the disease. Researchers also discovered that 60% of cases would not have been detected with a standard guideline-based approach

Genomicists & clinicians are beginning to offer patients #genomictesting for a list of treatable diseases apart from the one that brought them into the clinic. Learn about the role secondary findings play in diagnosing #diseases & saving lives:

Any 'guideline' excluding some breast cancer pts will miss pts with pathogenic mutations! I'm truly perplexed at the reticence to test ALL breast cancer pts. Yes there will be PV's w few management guidelines & VUS's (don't act on these)- it's OK we can handle these minor issues
In her new blog, Maureen Graham explores the big question: Would expansion of the #NCCNGuidelines - rather than universal testing of all women with #breastcancer - be a reasonable compromise for detection of inherited #cancer susceptibility? More here: blog.medneon.com/a-happy-med…

Direct-to-consumer #genetictests use SNP genotyping to identify common variants in the general population — but exactly how accurate are they in identifying rare mutations?
Results from a recent study published in #theBMJ suggest SNP chips are “the wrong tool for the job.”

“Think of it this way: When your doctor orders genetic testing, it’s akin to fishing for a particular fish, in a part of the ocean where it’s known to live. A DTC test is more like throwing a net into the ocean and seeing what comes back.”
