Clinical Oncology evaluations can include various molecular tests and the results can influence patient care. One example of an Oncology Molecular Diagnostic is mutation analysis for genes known to be confer a high risk of cancer such as BRCA1/2. Healthy patients found to carry this mutation benefit from increased screening and surveillance due to their increased risk of several cancers.
