Abstract 23P
Background
This modified Delphi consensus addresses practical gaps in genetic counselling and testing, risk assessment, and management of germline BRCA mutations (gBRCAm)-associated breast cancer (BC) in the Asia-Pacific region.
Methods
An expert panel of 16 medical oncologists, geneticists, and breast surgeons from the Asia-Pacific region arrived at 58 statements. The level of consensus of statements was considered at ≥75%. A survey of 134 healthcare practitioners (HCPs) (medical oncologists, geneticists, and breast surgeons) explored the real-world practices in the Asia-Pacific region.
Results
About 85% of the statements (49/58) reached a consensus and concorded with international guidelines. A significant discrepancy was observed between expert recommendations and real-world HCPs’ practice (Table). The consensus endorsed gBRCAm and gPALB2m testing in HR+/HER2- early (e) BC, high-risk identification guided by clinical trial criteria based on physician discretion and preferred adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) + poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) over ET + cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors in gBRCAm carriers with high-risk HR+/HER2- eBC cases. Table: 23P
Expert recommendations and real-world practice
Statements | Experts (%) | HCPs (%) |
Implementing pretest genetic counselling by nongeneticists after receiving proper training. | 87.5 | 48.5 |
Including CPS + EG scores in the risk assessment tools. | 67.9 | 87.4 |
Discussing contralateral risk-reducing mastectomy in gBRCAm patients | 87.5 | 41.8 |
Considering PARPi administration concurrently or sequentially with IO in BRCAm eTNBC cases who do not achieve a pathological complete response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy + IO. | 84.6 | 50 |
CPS+EG: Clinical and pathologic stage; IO: Immunotherapy; m: Mutation.
Conclusions
Streamlined genetic testing (GT) for BRCAm TNBC patients should be considered irrespective of age at diagnosis or family history. Prioritisation for GT for BRCAm HR+/HER2- eBC who may be eligible for adjuvant PARPi is needed in the real world, where resources are limited. The oncology community must recognise and address these practice gaps by improving access to resources and education.
