Breast Cancer Screening Adherence for Women at Moderate Risk for Breast Cancer

NCT ID: NCT07076147Sponsor: University of Southern CaliforniaLast updated: 2026-06-01

Summary

This study assesses breast cancer screening adherence for women at moderately increased risk for developing breast cancer based on gene mutation status or empiric risk model estimates. It also seeks to determine facilitators and barriers to screening.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Among women without a history of breast cancer: to compare women with moderate risk breast cancer gene mutations (Mutation Carrier Group) to women with a 20-40% empiric lifetime risk of breast cancer (Empiric Risk Group) in terms of how likely they are to undergo recommended breast MRI screening. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients complete a questionnaire and have their medical records reviewed on study.

Outcome measures

Primary

Proportion of women who undergo a screening breast MRI within 12 months of genetic test counseling
Will be calculated for each of the 4 Hospital-by-Age subgroups for the 2 risk groups; then a one-sided, α=0.05 Mantel Haenszel test, stratifying by hospital and age, will be used to compare the Mutation Carrier Risk and the Empiric Risk groups in terms of adherence to screening MRI. Homogeneity of odds ratios will be tested to ensure that difference (odds ratio) between the two risk groups is fairly consistent across the 4 strata.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
