Overview

Pilot program improved genetic testing uptake in pancreatic cancer patients, suggesting enhanced service delivery and compliance with guidelines.

Key Points

  • Implementation of a point‐of‐care cancer genetics service significantly increased gene testing among pancreatic cancer patients.
  • 94% of patients with PDAC were offered genetic testing after GENETECA implementation in 2020.
  • Data analysis utilized Chi‐squared testing and Wilcoxon rank‐sum tests to evaluate patient demographics and outcomes.
  • This cancer genetics service model may serve as a framework for other institutions aiming to enhance genetic testing compliance.
