Where Can I Get Genetic Testing?
Breast Cancer
Genetic sequencing of your tumor is available across the country, even if you don’t live near an academic hospital. A piece of your tumor can be sent to a hospital that does the sequencing, so having access to a genetic test of your cancer is not restricted by where you live. Genetic sequencing is valuable for patients diagnosed with metastatic cancer as it allows oncologists to understand the mutations that may have evolved in the tumor.
