Medical Breast Training Program - Session Three: Breast Cancer Risk Assessments and Genetics - Online CME Course

This part of the course will focus on risk assessment, including the basics of hereditary cancer, identifying those with inherited syndromes, and estimating risk in those with family history who do not carry pathogenic variants (or mutations) in highly penetrant or moderately penetrant genes.  The polygenic risk score and its potential applications will be introduced.  Management guidelines will be reviewed for the identified syndromes depending on risk, supplemented by illustrative and challenging case discussions. 

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Develop a consistent and comprehensive approach to identification of those at hereditary cancer with knowledge of NCCN guidelines, American Society of Breast Surgeons’ guidelines and those of USPSTF. 
  • Perform risk modeling in those without hereditary predisposition and understand the strengths and limitations of the various risk models (Gail – BCRAT, Tyrer-Cuzick, and BOADICEA/CanRisk)
  • Appreciate the role that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the polygenic risk score (PRS) may play in breast cancer risk assessment, sub-stratification of gene carriers, estimation of contralateral risk in the newly diagnosed and identification of lower risk individuals. 

Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
