Nebula whole genome sequencing report says that i have very strong (100th percentile) genetic disposition for breast cancer and melanoma. i always have extremely dense breast and neg mammo. does the wgs analysis change my cancer screening plan?

This needs highest level expertise from a medical genetics expert or other specialist with top expertise and experience in these cancers. To my knowledge, no such expertise exists among HealthTap consultants. Ask your doctor for referral. (Your zip code indicates you are near Palo Alto: Stanford medicine and/or the Palo Alto Medical Foundation undoubtedly have the expertise you need. Good luck.
