Genetic testing rates were notably low overall among stage IV prostate cancer patients, highlighting a significant issue.
Black patients showed higher rates of somatic testing at 30.7% compared to 18.9% for White patients, indicating a shift in testing trends.
Assessment via multivariable logistic regression examined testing utilization and referral patterns specifically among Black and White patients.
Focus on systematic barriers and insurance disparities suggests potential pathways for improving equitable access to genetic testing.
