The present invention provides new methods for the assessment of cancer risk in the general population. These methods utilize particular alleles of in multiple selected genes to identify individuals with increased or decreased risk of breast cancer. In addition, personal history measures such as age and family history are used to further refine the analysis. Using such methods, it is possible to reallocate healthcare costs in cancer screening to patient subpopulations at increased cancer risk. It also permits identification of candidates for cancer prophylactic treatment.
La présente invention concerne de nouveaux procédés pour l'évaluation des risques de cancer dans la population générale. Ces procédés utilisent des allèles particuliers de multiples gènes choisis pour identifier des individus avec un risque augmenté ou diminué du cancer du sein. De plus, des mesures historiques personnelles telles que l'âge et l'histoire familiale sont utilisés pour affiner l'analyse. En utilisant de tels procédés, il est possible de réattribuer des coûts de santé dans le criblage pour le cancer de sous-populations de patients avec un risque élevé pour le cancer. Ils permettent également l'identification de candidats pour un traitement prophylactique du cancer.
