Breast cancer: Call for genetic screening for all Offering every woman diagnosed with breast cancer genetic screening would save hundreds of lives each year, a study suggests.

Researchers say screening everyone would enable women to make informed treatment choices and allow family members to take preventative action.
It would also be cost-effective for the NHS, they say. BBC News
