Factors Influencing Adherence to the Risk Management Program for Women With a Genetic Predisposition to Breast Cancer: Real-World Data from a French Multicenter Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Risk management programs targeting women with genetic predispositions to breast cancer (BC), eg, BRCA1 and BRCA2, are effective assuming full adherence with the program protocol. However, high risk to BC in women and equal access to care may not result in high and uniform adherence with the program.

Objective

To elucidate factors influencing adherence with screening program in women with genetic predispositions to BC.

Material and methods

We retrieved data from a multicenter pathogenic-related BC surveillance program across 4 French regions. We used multilevel logistic modeling to analyze factors of adherence with the program, with "on-time" or postponed screening as the dependent variable.

Results

Seven hundred and seventy-eight participants were fo
