The Perspective of Healthy Individuals on Breast Cancer Risk Prediction Report in The Indonesian Population (Perspektif Para Individu Sehat Terhadap Laporan Prediksi Risiko Kanker Payudara)

In 2016, a meta-analysis showed that DNA-based risk reporting alone does not facilitate behavior change. However, there have been several studies showing that tailoring care plans related to diet may help with adherence to a tailored diet plan.

Risk prediction report displays both Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) and modifiable (non-genetic) risk factors. Overtime, the investigators aim to combine both PRS and modifiable risk factors to have a localized and stronger prediction model for the local population. The risk prediction report is designed to tailor care plans for patients by their physicians or care planner.

Focus groups allow deeper discussions in themes important to guide design of the report. This method has been used in previous similar studies, such as one by Cutting et al to understand physicians' preference in integrating genetic reports into daily practice. Studies also have shown that local adoption of personalized medicine and care is hindered by limited infrastructure of information management and awareness, despite personalized medicine being widely adopted in healthcare systems in developing countries.
