Interesting read! Genetic tests, by themselves are very costly. Actually, they are in trial stages, only BRCA and a few tests are commercially done. But well, I am sure, with time, we will see more. As for India, it will take a few years more, mainly because of affordability, and also, a lot of work needs to be done in cancer awareness and regular screening.
