MAYO CLINIC STUDY UNCOVERS GENETIC CANCER RISKS IN 550 PATIENTS
July 17, 2024 – Current screening protocols fail to catch a notable number of people carrying genetic mutations associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome, which increase the risk of developing certain cancers. This issue is particularly pronounced among underrepresented minorities.
These research findings, published in JCO Precision Oncology, are based on genetic screenings of more than 44,000 study participants from diverse backgrounds.
For this Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine Tapestry project, researchers sequenced the exomes — the protein-coding regions of genes — because this is where most disease-causing mutations are found. They identified 550 people, or 1.24%, as carriers of the hereditary mutations.
Importantly, half of these people were previously unaware of their hereditary genetic risk and 40% did not meet existing clinical guidelines for genetic testing.

DOCTORS RELUCTANT TO TREAT ADDICTION MOST COMMONLY REPORT “LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT” AS BARRIER
NIH study highlights need for greater education, training, and policies to increase adoption of evidence-based care for addiction among physicians.
July 17, 2024 – A new study(link is external) has identified the top reasons why some physicians may be reluctant to intervene in addiction. The comprehensive review, pulling 283 studies published on this topic within the last 61 years, showed that “institutional environment” was the reason most frequently reported in these studies. “Institutional environment” refers to factors like lack of support from a physician’s institution or employer; insufficient resources, such as staff and training; challenges in organizational culture; and competing demands. This reason was cited in 81% of the studies reviewed, followed by insufficient skill (74%), lack of cognitive capacity to manage a certain level of care (74%), and inadequate knowledge (72%).
