New NCCN Colorectal Cancer Guidelines Recommend Genetic Testing for All Diagnosed Patients (Invitae Press Release)
"As a result of recent research revealing that a significant number of colorectal cancer patients with actionable variants are missed under previous genetic testing guidelines, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) announced new guidelines calling for testing to be available to all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Specifically, NCCN recommended that germline multigene panel testing should be offered to all individuals with CRC age <50 and be considered for all others, particularly for, but not restricted to, those with evidence of mismatch repair in their tumor or suggestive family history. These new recommendations expand the current testing criteria, which limited testing to certain age groups and types of cancer."
