Abstract 1506MO
Background
Calculating breast cancer (BC) risks is becoming increasingly accurate and important in the care of healthy women with a cancer family history. Clinical recommendations are commonly based on cancer family history and germline mutation status. More recently, risk-modifying single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which can be used to calculate polygenic risk score (PRS) as well as non-genetic risk factors (NGRF) have been incorporated into established risk prediction tools. We evaluated the impact of personalized BC risk calculation incorporating PRS and NGRF on clinical recommendations for intensified breast surveillance (IBS), based on the 10-year BC risk with a threshold of ≥5% for IBS indication (German Guideline) and a lifetime risk of ≥20 % (French/Dutch), respectively.
Methods
Cancer-unaffected women with a family history of BC and/or ovarian cancer were enrolled in a prospective observational study at their first counselling at the Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre Cologne from 11/2019 - 9/2020. BC-risks were calculated for women aged 30-50 years with non-informative genetic test results, variants of uncertain significance and pathogenic variants not associated with BC. Two risk versions were calculated using the CanRisk©-Tool (Boadicea-algorithm): A basic risk version (BR) and a comprehensive risk version (CR), that includes a >300 SNP PRS and NGRF.
Results
BC risks were calculated for 123 women aged 30 - 50 years (mean 40.37, SD: 5.63). With BR, 28 women (22.8%) were recommended IBS. With CR, 44 (35.8%) women were offered IBS. Clinical recommendations changed for 21.2% of all women when comparing BR/CR. With ≥20% lifetime BC-risk as cut-off for IBS indication, recommendations change for 24.4% (CR) of women compared with the German guideline: 7 women are not eligible anymore, 23 additional women are.
Conclusions
Integrating PRS and NGRF for risk calculation led to (1) an increase in patients eligible for IBS and (2) a recommendation change for every fifth woman. When switching country guideline, clinical recommendations changed for a quarter of women (CR). Prospective validation studies, as well as evaluating and harmonizing guidelines are necessary.
