abstract = {Breast cancer screening starting at age 50 has been
implemented in many countries. A recent recommendation of
the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends lowering
the starting age of breast cancer screening to 40. We aimed
to assess the potential use of a polygenic risk score (PRS)
for defining risk-adapted starting ages for women in the US
and various European countries as an alternative to
population-wide lowering of the starting age.We determined
5-year cumulative risks of breast cancer for women at
individual ages between 30 and 50 years in the US and four
large European countries (Germany, the UK, Italy, and
France) based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End
Results program and GLOBOCAN 2022 database. Using relative
risks for women within certain percentile ranges of a
well-established PRS based on 313 risk variants (PRS313), we
determined at which ages women with higher PRS313 would
reach the breast cancer risk at age 50 of those at 'medium'
(40th to 60th percentile) risk.Non-Hispanic White women in
the US in PRS313 percentile categories 60-80, 80-90, 90-95,
95-99 and >99 would reach the medium 5-year cumulative risk
at age 50 already at ages 43, 41, 39, 37, 34, respectively.
Despite some variation in breast cancer incidence,
risk-adapted starting ages of screening were similar across
European countries.Consideration of a PRS would lead to
risk-adapted starting ages of screening for breast cancer
rather than a uniform advancement of starting age for White
women in the US and European countries.},
