Recent studies show that testing for a specific gene change in people newly diagnosed with breast cancer can help reduce the impact the disease has on their life as they can be given special treatments. When tests are tailored to each person, they can get better results. However, in many countries, including Türkiye, not many people know about or can get these tests. This is because of concerns about being judged, rules in the country, the cost, confusion about the tests and limited access. Not having these tests can make healthcare more expensive in the long run. This article suggests ways for Türkiye's leaders and health workers to make these tests a regular part of cancer care and planning.
