Overview

Survey reveals low uptake of genetic testing for hereditary cancer, suggesting gaps in awareness and access.

Key Points

  • Genetic testing uptake is low among those eligible, especially men, and individuals with non-gynecologic cancers.
  • Of 1,269 surveyed, 48.1% reported having undergone genetic testing, with higher rates in breast and ovarian cancer patients.
  • Logistic regression analysis identified demographic factors significantly affecting testing rates among qualified individuals.
  • Increased awareness and educational interventions may improve access to genetic testing for hereditary cancer susceptibility.
