Use of an Ultra-rapid BRCA1/2 Status Screening Test in Diagnostic and Theranostic Indication: Performance and Interest for Patients and Practitioners
The time taken to obtain the results of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 has become a major issue in adapting the therapeutic management of patients, particularly those with breast cancer. The time taken to obtain the results of BRCA1/2 tests in routine laboratories with a view to personalised treatment can range from a few weeks to a few months. The waiting time required to obtain results is likely to cause stress and anxiety in cancer patients. The investigators hypothesise that ultra-rapid testing can…

About this study
The time taken to obtain the results of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 has become a major issue in adapting the therapeutic management of patients, particularly those with breast cancer. The time taken to obtain the results of BRCA1/2 tests in routine laboratories with a view to personalised treatment can range from a few weeks to a few months. The waiting time required to obtain results is likely to cause stress and anxiety in cancer patients. The investigators hypothesise that ultra-rapid testing can reduce anxiety about patients' genetic status and improve their mental well-being. The main objective of this project is to compare the results obtained with an ultra-fast kit developed by O.N.T with those obtained with the current gold standard, NGS sequencing.
Interventions
- Other: Questionnaires — 3 questionnaires to allowed to assess satisfaction and acceptance of the nanopore ultrafast test by practitioners and anxiety of results by patients : * STAI-Y (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) * Patient's Questionnaire * Practitioner's questionnaire
- Other: Communication of the results of the BRCA1/2 ultra rapid test — Communication of the results of the BRCA1/2 ultra rapid test during a consultation 1 to 2 weeks after the test
Primary outcomes
- Compare the results obtained with an ultra-rapid kit BRCA1/2 with those obtained with the current gold standard, by checking the sensitivity, specificity and the rate of patients correctly classified for BRCA1 and 2 status (During 2 months)
