Service Outcomes for Germline Test Delivery for Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate service outcomes of different germline testing delivery models for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
• Conducted a quality improvement study within a health care setting.
• Compared traditional germline testing delivery models to new embedded and full mainstream models.
• Evaluated the practicality and efficiency of these models in delivering timely germline testing.
• The full mainstream model offers the most advantages for timely germline testing delivery.
