Show detailsThis subject would benefit from further research in most areas. The guideline development group identified the following areas which they felt would help improve the evidence base for future versions of this guideline.
- Validation of risk assessment models is urgently needed.
- Different risk communication strategies should be evaluated.
- Prospective studies are needed of the short and long terms psychosocial and sexual impact of risk reducing surgery in women with a family history of breast cancer.
- Costs and benefits of surveillance in the 30–40 years age groups should be assessed by national pooling of all UK data.
- The effectiveness of surveillance, in particular mammography, in those aged 40–49 years.
- Endocrine prevention studies (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors) would be valuable.
- Relative effectiveness of different methods of gene mutation testing.
- The role and usefulness of computer packages in risk assessment, audit and other aspects of care would be useful.
