Screening for inherited predisposition to cancer and germline genetic testing are part of the standard of care for breast cancer management, with implications for immediate and survivorship management. The advent of multigene next-generation sequencing panels has increased the complexity of testing while also making it less expensive. The dynamic nature of genetic knowledge and testing technology necessitates ongoing assessment for new or updated genetics evaluation throughout survivorship to maximize the reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality.
