Qu’est-ce que CanRisk ?

Quel est le principe de fonctionnement de CanRisk ?
CanRisk calculates breast and ovarian cancer risks (using the BOADICEA models) and prostate cancer risk (using CanRisk-Prostate) based on information entered for the individual which can include personal risk factors, cancer family history, genetic testing for high- and moderate-risk genes, polygenic scores and mammographic density (click to see what information is used). It presents the cancer risks in textual and graphical formats to assist the communication of the results.
