Surge in BRCA testing prompts questions at LMH Oncology Center
Lawrence Memorial Hospital's Oncology Center reports rising inquiries about BRCA testing for women under 50 with breast cancer. Doctors note testing targets those with strong family histories and young-onset cases, while discussing options from prophylactic surgery to rigorous screening.
