👏So important! Endometrial biopsies can be painful so doing them together while sedated alleviates that, plus 1 less appointment is also a win. Thanks UCSF🙌

Study shows current guidelines for #genetictesting miss too many people at high risk for #cancer leading to missed proactive screenings and targeted cancer therapies. 40% of those identified in the study did not meet clinical guidelines for genetic testing!
The TAPESTRY study is a “wake-up call,” demonstrating “current national guidelines for #genetic screenings are missing too many people at high risk of #cancer...” This issue is “particularly pronounced” among underrepresented minorities. c/w @J_Samadder et al. @MayoClinic @Invitae “#Earlydetection of #genetic markers for these conditions can lead to #proactive screenings and #targetedtherapies, potentially saving lives of people and their family members,” @J_Samadder
