Achieving universal genetic assessment for women with ovarian cancer: Are we there yet? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Several professional organizations recommend universal genetic assessment for people with ovarian cancer as identifying pathogenic variants can affect treatment, prognosis, and all-cause mortality for patients and relatives. We sought to evaluate the literature on genetic assessment for women with ovarian cancer and determine if any interventions or patient characteristics drive utilization of services.

Methods: We searched key electronic databases to identify trials that evaluated genetic assessment for people with ovarian cancer.
