About this trial

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.
