The overall goal of the Polygenic Risk Scores and Multi-cancer Early Detection for Ovarian Cancer (PROMISE) study is to better understand how women may incorporate both polygenic risk score (PRS) and novel early detection strategies in their decisions regarding cancer screening and risk reducing surgery. This study will conduct qualitative interviews to better understand women's attitudes regarding polygenic risk score (PRS) and early detection assays.
