Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Identifying these mutations can help in understanding a patient's cancer risk profile.
Who should take this test?
Individuals with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, or those who have been diagnosed with these cancers at a young age, should consider this test. It is also recommended for patients with certain genetic backgrounds.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation involves ensuring that a paraffin block specimen is collected with 10% of tumor tissue. A clinical history must be provided, along with a genomic test request form and informed consent.
What do the results mean?
Results indicating mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 suggest a higher risk for certain cancers, which may necessitate further monitoring or preventive measures. Negative results may provide reassurance but do not eliminate cancer risk entirely.
How long until I get my results?
Results are typically available within 13-15 days. They will be delivered through the healthcare provider who ordered the test.
