Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Female carriers of the breast-cancer-susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are at high risk for breast cancer (85%). They face the choice between prophylactic mastectomy (PM) and breast cancer screening. For this treatment choice, a shared-decision-making program was developed. In this...
