我们介绍了一项试点研究的结果，该研究通过问卷调查的方式评估了 155 名有乳腺癌家族史的女性的风险认知。只有 11% 的女性能够识别正确的人群风险，超过一半的女性无法评估自己的终生风险在临床医生估计的 50% 以内。尽管遗传咨询可能对女性有所帮助，但如果面临重大风险，则需要评估每年进行的乳房X光检查、分配真实风险的心理影响以及乳房X光检查的价值。
We present the findings of a pilot study to assess the perception of risk in 155 women with a family history of breast cancer by questionnaire. Only 11% of women were able to identify the correct population risk and more than half were unable to assess their own lifetime risk within 50% of the clinicians' estimate. Although it is probable that women are helped by genetic counselling and if at substantial risk, annual mammography, the psychological impact of assigning true risk and the value of mammography need to be evaluated.
