Official Title: Strategies to Increase the Identification, Genetic Counseling Referral and Genetic Testing for Women at Risk for Hereditary Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to identify the most effective means of follow-up for women who screen positive on B-RST (Breast Cancer Genetics Referral Screening Tool) applied in the standard clinical setting of mammography, to maximize the number who are referred to and receive cancer genetic counseling services. The clinical utility of B-RST 3.0 will also be evaluated by determining the number seen who are appropriate for genetic testing, undergo genetic testing and are found to carry a hereditary cancer gene mutations with medical management implications for the patient and family. The long-term goal is to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with hereditary causes of breast and ovarian cancer among patients seen in the Emory/Winship system.
