How to manage genetic testing of pancreatic cancer patients
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recently recommended germline testing for all people newly diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Also, the American Society of Clinical Oncology has issued a clinical opinion advising risk assessment and consideration of germline testing for all patients newly diagnosed, Dr. Eileen O'Reilly, an oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and colleagues observed. But opinions on what, exactly, to test for have been divided, and guidance has been lacking, they suggested in JAMA Oncology.
