Interesting study about genetic testing in cancer patients.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2772576
Findings In this multicenter cohort study of 2984 patients with cancer, 1 in 8 patients had a pathogenic germline variant, half of which would not have been detected using a guideline-based approach. Nearly 30% of patients with a high-penetrance variant had modifications in their treatment based on the finding.

Yes thanks for sharing
I have started twice and not made it through the whole article. I wonder how much the genetic testing costs.
