What is the significance of genetic testing in gynecology?
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in identifying hereditary gynecological conditions and assessing cancer risk. Tests for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, Lynch syndrome, and other genetic markers help in the early detection and prevention of breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Genetic counseling is an integral part of this process, guiding patients through the implications of their test results.
