“…These results are promising and reflect the growing acceptance of RGCT as part of standard BC care in countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Studies in several other countries have suggested that RGCT is acceptable to many BC patients and surgeons, and that RGCT may impact on risk‐reducing surgery . We expect that genetic testing will be performed increasingly quickly and efficiently, so that more patients will be able to receive DNA test results before primary surgery.…”

As the technology of RGCT advances, additional gains can be expected in terms of shared decision making and patient empowerment.…”

“…Nonetheless, an accurate risk assessment in these high-risk populations remains fundamental, in order to establish personalized strategies for risk control (i.e. surveillance, chemoprevention [15] and prophylactic surgery [16]). At this aim, reproductive factors were investigated in a population of Italian women attending the Modena Family Cancer Clinic (MFCC), comparing women classified at different levels of increased BC risk.…”
