National study examines genetic testing to inform follow-up care for cancer survivors

medicalxpress - Hundreds of thousands of people diagnosed with cancer are still alive today but were never genetically tested, either because testing was not available or was not routinely offered at the time of their diagnosis. These patients are just as likely as those…

AI Summary: A national study has been launched to assess whether genetic testing can refine follow-up care for cancer survivors, tailoring surveillance to individual risk and potentially reducing unnecessary tests. The large-scale effort seeks to integrate genomic data into survivorship plans to better predict late effects and allocate resources to those most likely to benefit.
