LA Times: Genetic cancer test often urged for wrong women

From the LA Times
“The U.S. Preventive Services Talk Force (USPSTF), a federally-supported expert panel, advises against routine counseling and testing for women who don’t have suspicious cases of cancer in their family, such as two close relatives with breast cancer, one of whom got it before age 50.”

The key is knowing if your wife, mother, sister or loved one is at a high risk.
