Short-term outcomes of implementation of a computer-based breast cancer risk assessment program during screening mammography.
2012
298 Background: Major barriers to high risk breast cancer risk assessment include inadequate documentation of family history, complexity of risk calculation and model selection, and lack of awareness. We have established a high risk breast cancer assessment program using a computer-based real time risk calculation at time of screening mammography. Objectives were to facilitate identification of high risk patients needing genetic counseling/testing and MRI breast screening. Methods: Beginning 11/23/2010, prior to screening mammogram all patients completed a self reported risk assessment using a wireless tablet. With real time risk calculation for risk of genetic mutation (Myriad and BRCAPRO models) as well as life time risk of breast cancer (Gail, Claus, Tyrer-Cuzick, and BRCAPRO models) using HughesRiskApps patients were categorized into high risk ( ≥ 10% gene mutation risk or ≥ 20% life time breast cancer risk) or average risk groups and received a risk assessment letter. The risk data was integrated int...
