Testing the feasibility of PERSONA: a personalised breast and ovarian cancer risk assessment incorporating polygenic information that identifies high-risk women
Description: Women can prevent breast and ovarian cancer if they know their personal risk and use risk-directed early detection and prevention strategies. This feasibility study will pilot an intervention involving a shared model of care between general practitioners and genetic counsellors to deliver a multifactorial breast and ovarian cancer risk assessment including polygenic information to young women. We will examine the intervention feasibility for deliverers, recipients, and the healthcare system.
