I have breast cancer, and I want NGS., This is a grassroots patient initiative aimed at improving the situation for breast cancer patients and their families regarding genetic testing through Next-generation sequencing (NGS).

We want to appeal to the Minister of Health for broader access to genetic testing using NGS and for a change in the current reimbursement model.

We want every patient diagnosed with breast cancer to be immediately referred for genetic testing using NGS, at least for the BRCA 1/2 genes.
We want every case of breast cancer with a confirmed pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutation to be automatically referred for genetic counseling.
We want genetic testing using NGS for the BRCA 1/2 genes to be conducted using peripheral blood, rather than tissue.To expedite diagnosis, we want a clinical oncologist or surgical oncologist consulting a breast cancer patient to be able to order NGS genetic testing from peripheral blood on an outpatient basis.
