Given the high rate of pathogenic germline variant detection and the importance of identifying such variants for both patients and their family, it is imperative that eligible patients undergo germline testing. Additional education for providers on multidisciplinary guidelines and development of clinical pathways to ensure germline testing of suspected pathogenic variants identified on tumor sequencing is warranted, especially in light of the racial/ethnic inequity observed.
