Abstract

Tumor genomic testing is used primarily to facilitate the selection of the best possible treatment for a malignancy based on the genomic characteristics of the tumor. Germline genomic testing has implications for care and recommendations for cancer prevention and early detection for the patient and their family. Careful review of specific components of tumor genomic testing reports and of the family history of malignancy can help ensure that families with potential germline risk are identified and referred for genetic counseling and genetic testing.
