It’s not uncommon to be asked whether one should have genetic testing for breast cancer predisposition. Updates to the USPSTF recommendations for BRCA1/2 testing help guide us on who should undergo genetic counselling and testing. It applies to any woman with a family history of breast, ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer or survivors of those malignancies with an unknown BRCA status. One of six risk assessment tools is then used to determine which patients are candidates for genetic counselling where formal testing can be considered. | USPSTF, JAMA 2019
