Useful For

Evaluating hereditary cancer for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary cancer syndrome

 

Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary cancer syndrome allowing for targeted cancer surveillance based on associated risks

 

Identifying genetic variants associated with increased risk for cancer, allowing for predictive testing, and appropriate screening of at-risk family members

 

Therapeutic eligibility with poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors based on certain gene alterations (eg, BRCA1, BRCA2) in selected tumor types
