Leveraging Electronic Health Records to Examine the Real-World Rates of Cancer Genetics Referrals in a Singapore Health Care Cluster
This study found lower referral rates for Lynch syndrome than HBOC, and identified a gender discrepancy, with men with HBOC being less likely to be referred. Efforts to increase referral rates should include raising clinician awareness and electronically identifying suspected cases, especially for male breast cancer and Lynch Syndrome.
