[Interest in the use of polygenic risk scores in breast cancer screening and preventive medicine].

Despite screening programmes, numerous clinical studies and new breast imaging techniques, breast cancer incidence for women continues to rise. The arrival of predictive and personalized medicine could clearly redefine our screening recommendations. One promising approach to improving screening would be to use tools to predict the risk of developing breast cancer, including polygenic risk scores (PRS). This approach will enable us to offer women risk-based screening by adapting the frequency, type and age of screening. This article reviews some definitions of the PRS and breast cancer screening. We also explain the risk assessment models that have been developed and the various studies underway on personalized screening.
