New study reveals how personalized breast cancer risk news impacts Women's emotions
NCT ID NCT04145817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how women feel and think after getting a personalized estimate of their breast cancer risk. Researchers used a special computer model (BOADICEA) to give each woman a risk score based on her genes. The goal was to see if this personalized information changes how women perceive their risk and how they feel about it. 405 healthy women with a family history of breast cancer took part.
