Women with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have an increased risk of developing early breast cancer with a poorer prognosis compared to the general population. Therefore, international management guidelines recommend regular screening in women with NF1 starting from 30 to 35 years. As the psychological impacts of breast cancer screening in other high-risk populations cannot be extended to women with NF1, due to increased incidence of cognitive and mental health issues, the psychological harms of breast screening in women with NF1 are unknown. Consequently, the aim of this study was to assess the psychological impact of breast cancer screening in women with NF1 attending an established risk management clinic. Twenty-eight women with NF1 (30–50 years) completed psychological well-being and patient experience questionnaires, administered across five time points, before and after their initial and second round annual breast screening visits. Preliminary findings demonstrated the screening regimen was well-tolerated, with most participants reporting high satisfaction with the screening process. Overall, no significant increase in psychological distress related to the breast screening process was identified, with mean cancer worry and anxiety scores decreasing over time. However, some women did experience negative aspects of screening and barriers to re-attendance at annual breast screening appointments. As some women with NF1 exhibited clinical levels of psychological distress prior to screening, efforts to identify those at risk and additional support to address concerns and expectations throughout the breast screening process may be beneficial.

1 型神经纤维瘤病导致乳腺癌风险增加的年轻女性乳腺癌筛查的心理影响和经验

与普通人群相比,患有 1 型神经纤维瘤病 (NF1) 的女性患早期乳腺癌的风险增加,预后较差。因此,国际管理指南建议对 30 至 35 岁的 NF1 女性进行定期筛查。由于乳腺癌筛查对其他高危人群的心理影响不能扩展到患有 NF1 的女性,由于认知和心理健康问题的发生率增加,因此乳腺癌筛查对 NF1 女性的心理危害尚不清楚。因此,本研究的目的是评估乳腺癌筛查对就诊于既定风险管理诊所的 NF1 女性的心理影响。28 名 NF1 女性(30-50 岁)完成了心理健康和患者体验问卷,在他们初次和第二轮年度乳房筛查访问之前和之后的五个时间点进行管理。初步调查结果表明,筛查方案具有良好的耐受性,大多数参与者对筛查过程表示高度满意。总体而言,没有发现与乳房筛查过程相关的心理压力显着增加,平均癌症担忧和焦虑评分随着时间的推移而降低。然而,一些女性确实经历了筛查的负面影响以及重新参加年度乳房筛查预约的障碍。由于一些患有 NF1 的女性在筛查前表现出临床心理困扰水平,因此努力识别处于风险中的人并提供额外支持以解决整个乳房筛查过程中的担忧和期望可能是有益的。在他们初次和第二轮年度乳房筛查访问之前和之后。初步调查结果表明,筛查方案具有良好的耐受性,大多数参与者对筛查过程表示高度满意。总体而言,没有发现与乳房筛查过程相关的心理压力显着增加,平均癌症担忧和焦虑评分随着时间的推移而降低。然而,一些女性确实经历了筛查的负面影响以及重新参加年度乳房筛查预约的障碍。由于一些患有 NF1 的女性在筛查前表现出临床心理困扰水平,因此努力识别处于风险中的人并提供额外支持以解决整个乳房筛查过程中的担忧和期望可能是有益的。在他们初次和第二轮年度乳房筛查访问之前和之后。初步调查结果表明,筛查方案具有良好的耐受性,大多数参与者对筛查过程表示高度满意。总体而言,没有发现与乳房筛查过程相关的心理压力显着增加,平均癌症担忧和焦虑评分随着时间的推移而降低。然而,一些女性确实经历了筛查的负面影响以及重新参加年度乳房筛查预约的障碍。由于一些患有 NF1 的女性在筛查前表现出临床心理困扰水平,因此努力识别处于风险中的人并提供额外支持以解决整个乳房筛查过程中的担忧和期望可能是有益的。
