Access to genomic medicine illustrates precision medicine’s delicate future

A new study found that access to genomic testing for cancer is limited by factors such as test availability, patient information, and insurance coverage in both Japan and Switzerland. Despite universal insurance coverage, barriers persist due to differences in hospital accessibility, language barriers, and varying levels of reimbursement.

Polygenic risk scores could improve colorectal cancer screening

Researchers have developed a polygenic risk score for colorectal cancer, which can estimate an individual's likely disease risk and identify those who may benefit from earlier screening. The score can also help determine more appropriate ages to start screening based on genetic risk.

Routine screening for three genetic conditions is cost-effective, study shows

A new study finds that one-time genomic screening of adults aged 20-60 for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia is cost-effective based on quality-adjusted life-year measures. The study suggests that this approach could improve disease management and reduce healthcare costs.

Genomic screening can help detect thyroid cancer, Geisinger study finds

A Geisinger study found that genomic screening can help detect medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in patients with RET gene variants. The research evaluated 75 patients who had the genetic results, and 12 were found to have cancer after undergoing surgery. Genomic screening provides opportunities for early detection and treatment of MTC.
