MeasureTime frame
- The sensitivity and specificity of the Med-Seq test for detection of breast cancer in this specific cohort of female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in an early stage. - The proportion of female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in whom the MeD-seq test detected breast cancer significantly more early (i.e. 1 year) than current surveillance tools.
