Breast Cancer MRI Screening of Patients After Multiplex Gene Panel Testing.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Enhanced breast cancer screening with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended to women with elevated risk of breast cancer, yet uptake of screening remains unclear after genetic testing.

Objective

To evaluate uptake of MRI after genetic results disclosure and counseling.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter cohort study was conducted at the University of Southern California Norris Cancer Hospital, the Los Angeles General Medical Center, and the Stanford University Cancer Institute. Patients were recruited from July 1, 2014, through November 30, 2016. Following multiplex gene panel testing and genetic counseling, patients responded to surveys about breast MRI screening at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months and to a final survey between 3 and 4 yea
