Abstract

The article focuses on extension of BRCA1/2 germline testing to all high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) regardless of family history. It mentions benefits of poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapies and no endometrioid types were recorded and identify somatic mutations that would otherwise go undetected but may determine sensitivity to PARPi. It also mentions affected women would then only require germline testing if a pathogenic variant were identified in tumour material.
