Interpretation Of BBDRisk Dx® Test Results
The results of the BBDRisk Dx® test are reported to your ordering physician as a cancer risk score from 0-10 (Click here for sample Test Results Reports). The higher the risk score, the higher one’s risk of developing breast cancer. In addition, it categorizes the patient as low risk, intermediate risk or high risk by comparing the patient’s risk score with the plurality of risk scores in Silbiotech’s data base. The test results report will also provide a cancer rate for a given risk score. Finally, the results report will also provide an overview of the clinical validation study.
Treatment decisions can be made based on the cancer risk score and consultation between each patient and his or her healthcare professional (Figure below).
For example, standard screening for women whose BBDRisk Dx® results indicate a low risk score. If BBDRisk Dx® results indicate that a patient has an intermediate or high risk score, the following medical management options could be applied:
- Increased surveillance
- Risk-reducing medications and/or
- Prophylactic surgery
