| | | | | | | | | | | | Clinical Update: ASCO Guidelines for Germline Testing in Ovarian Cancer
| | | |
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer focus on the screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and management considering individual risk assessment.
These updated guidelines include criteria for further genetic risk evaluation using a hereditary cancer panel for hereditary cancer syndromes:
· All women diagnosed with ovarian cancer should be offered germline testing for BRCA1, BRCA2, and other ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, irrespective of their clinical features or family cancer history.
Germline testing should be ordered in appropriate individuals where it will impact the treatment, clinical trial options and risk management. The recommended panels should contain BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and PALB2.
Genetics Institute of America’s GIAnomics™ Hereditary Cancer Panel includes all the recommended predisposition genes for Ovarian Cancer. GIA is committed to exceeding the standards put forth by prestigious organizations, like ASCO, and ensuring that the panels we offer support your medical needs and your patient’s health and safety.

Genetics Institute of America is actively recruiting practices to join our study, GH-101! The objective of this study is to take an integrative approach to the fields of pharmacogenomics, cancer genomics, mRNA microarrays and nutrigenomics by identifying DNA and RNA variants in persons with chronic disease. We are looking for Physicians and Physician Groups that currently treat patients with a chronic disease including: cancer, cardiac conditions, diabetes, kidney disease, PTSD. Getting your practice involved is easy and not only gets patients the individualized health information they need but allows your practice to be on the cutting edge of genetic research. Click "Enroll Now" for more information about this study and enrolling your practice.
