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.
