Summary
This study tested a digital health platform designed to help people with a genetic mutation for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer communicate test results with their relatives. Researchers worked with 128 participants in Switzerland and Korea to see if the tool could reduce distress and increase the number of family members who learn about their own cancer risk. The goal was to improve family communication and encourage more at-risk relatives to get tested.
