Hereditary cancer-associated mutations in women diagnosed with two primary cancers: an opportunity to identify hereditary cancer syndromes after the first cancer diagnosis

"This retrospective analysis focused on women diagnosed with at least two primary cancers who were tested for hereditary cancer mutations in order to determine the prevalence of mutation carriers and to examine the time interval between the two diagnoses. In addition, the number of women who would meet the current NCCN guidelines for genetic testing after their first cancer diagnosis was determined."
