Physicians' Experiences With BRCA1/2 Testing in Community Settings

Physicians' Experiences With BRCA1/2 Testing in Community Settings -- Keating et al. 26 (35): 5789 -- Journal of Clinical Oncology

"Conclusion: Community-based physicians seem to be successfully incorporating BRCA1/2 testing into their practices. Physicians’ recommendations for surveillance of mutation carriers are generally consistent with practice guidelines, yet recommendations for preference-based procedures such as prophylactic mastectomy vary by physician characteristics such as specialty and geographic region. The providers whom patients see for testing may contribute to variations in prophylactic treatments."
