Genetic testing based <strong>on</strong> seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (7SNP) can improve individualized<br />
estimates of lifetime risk of breast cancer relative to the Gail risk test al<strong>on</strong>e, for the purpose of<br />
recommending MRI screening for women at high risk.<br />
ABSTRACTS<br />
An individual-based, c<strong>on</strong>tinuous-time simulati<strong>on</strong> model of breast cancer <strong>and</strong> health care processes was<br />
used to simulate women in a virtual trial comparing the use of the 7SNP test to the Gail risk test al<strong>on</strong>e to<br />
categorize patients as either low risk or high risk. Low risk patients received annual mammogram, while<br />
high risk patients received annual MRI. Cancer incidence was based <strong>on</strong> Surveillance, Epidemiology, <strong>and</strong><br />
End Results (SEER) data <strong>and</strong> validated to the Cancer Preventi<strong>on</strong> Study II (CPS-II) Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Cohort data<br />
set. Risk factors are drawn from the Nati<strong>on</strong>al Health <strong>and</strong> Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Examinati<strong>on</strong> Survey (NHANES-4) <strong>and</strong><br />
Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, <strong>and</strong> Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO) data sets. Mammogram<br />
characteristics were derived from the <strong>Breast</strong> Cancer Surveillance C<strong>on</strong>sortium (BCSC) dataset.<br />
Other parameters were derived from published literature. The 7SNP test (vs Gail al<strong>on</strong>e) saved 0.00734<br />
quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) per pers<strong>on</strong> at a cost of $1,971 per pers<strong>on</strong> ($268,386 per QALY).<br />
Limiting the 7SNP test to <strong>on</strong>ly those patients with a lifetime Gail risk of 16 – 28% resulted in a cost of<br />
$163,264 per QALY. These results were sensitive to the age at which the test is given, the discount rate,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the costs of the genetic test <strong>and</strong> MRI. The cost-effectiveness of using the 7SNP test for patients with<br />
intermediate Gail risk is similar to that of other recommended strategies, including annual MRI for<br />
patients with a lifetime risk greater than 20% or BRCA1/2 mutati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
