Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study of the psychological impact of breast cancer risk communication in Cancer Genetics based on the personalized estimation of the BOADICEA V5/PLUS model ("Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm-version 5 or PLUS").

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The new BC gene testing and risk estimation using BOADICEA V5/PLUS model imply an increased complexity of communication during the cancer genetic consultation. It will be proposed to women referred to genetic counselling in the participating Cancer Genetic Clinics .

New qualitative (moderate risks, secondary results) and quantitative results (variation in the degree of cancer risk identified for the counselee and family members) and thus a personalized breast cancer risk may be obtained. How this complexity affects counselees' psychological reactions is not known.

It is primarily aimed at comparing psychosocial needs and distress in healthy women (unaffected with BC) at high risk of breast or ovarian cancer undergoing genetic testing based on an enriched gene panel (index case gene panel plus PRS) at Curie Institute in France and at the University Hospital in Cologne, Germany.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

genetic counselling

Genetic counselling (PRS for risk estimation) and questionnaires in the participating Cancer Genetic Clinics for healthy woman relative of a person first tested in the family (index case) who received a positive genetic test result or a negative non-informative test result

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BRIDGES gene panel testing

Intervention Type GENETIC

The "Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm-BOADICEAV5/PLUS" predicts lifetime and age-specific breast cancer (BC) risks on the basis of family history, all known BC genes test-results, common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) combined in a PRS, and other non-genetic risk factors. This model is developed within the BRIDGES consortium.

Breast cancer risk polygenic risk score (PRS)

Intervention Type GENETIC

The "Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm-BOADICEAV5/PLUS" predicts lifetime and age-specific breast cancer (BC) risks on the basis of family history, all known BC genes test-results, common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) combined in a PRS, and other non-genetic risk factors. This model is developed within the BRIDGES consortium.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Self-administered questionnaires for counselees to evaluate Psychosocial Aspects of Hereditary Cancer (PAHC), Breast Cancer risk perception adequacy, risk communication within the family and cancer risk management choice,
