OR

  • With life time risk of 30% or higher, based on Polygenic Risk Score that integrates genetic and non-genetic factors OR
  • 5-years risk ≥ 6% for women 40-64 OR
  • 5-years risk ≥ 6% for women 65+ AND breast density C or D AND a lifetime risk >= 20% (BCSC+PRS LTR or Tyrer-Cuzick LTR) OR
  • Patients with history of chest wall radiation received before age 35. OR
  • To promote health equity, women of African Ancestry < 45 years with at least one 1st or 2nd degree relative with breast or ovarian cancer are eligible because PRS Scores are not currently reported for AA women.
  • Must be at least 25 years old.
  • Willing to travel to participating site for imaging studies as well as any necessary follow-up procedures.
  • Be able to give informed consent.
  • Patients with prior history of breast or ovarian cancer are eligible if they have completed all active treatments and are cancer free for two years.

Exclusion criteria

  • Undergoing active cancer treatment at the time of enrollment.

Treatment and study plan

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Procedure

Patients will have MRI scans every 6 months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Development of faster MRI protocols for a for a Personalized Risk-based Imaging Surveillance Model for diverse populations of high risk women.

    Time frame: 5 years

    We will test whether an abbreviated MRI (AB-MRI) is diagnostically equivalent to a full MRI. Eligible women will be scanned every 6 months with a full protocol MRI.
