Abstract:
| In this talk, we apply reliable verification and validation analysis in the context of risk assessment, genetic counseling and testing with the focus on breast cancer. This process is highly affected by uncertainty. However, reliability of test interpretations and counseling conclusions is especially important since they have direct influence on humans and their decisions. Based on multi-criteria binary decision trees and interval analysis, we extend the referral screening tool, designed to facilitate referral of patients at risk of breast cancer for genetic counseling and testing, with three further available risk assessment tools for this purpose, which has the advantage of providing more information about the subject and takes into account bigger proband groups. |
