Attitudes towards risk-stratified breast cancer screening in Denmark - a qualitative study.

Background: Today the prerequisites exist to initiate risk-stratified screening according to a woman's individual risk of breast cancer as opposed to existing one-size-fits-all age-based programmes. This presupposes that the women accept having their personal risk score estimated and their screening intervals changed accordingly. Risk-stratified screening has not yet been implemented in any country, but in the future many European countries will very likely move towards more personalized screening.
