It is a retrospective observational study that will include female patients aged 18 years or older, who were treated between 2017 and 2024, in both public and private institutions, and identified as at high genetic risk by breast specialists and referred to a geneticist. The artificial intelligence-based tool to be used in this study is developed by the startup WeConecta, which will collect data via WhatsApp about the patients' family cancer history with the aim of predicting the genetic risk of developing breast cancer.
This is an observational retrospective study. Patients considered by mastologists to be at genetic risk and who have undergone genetic testing with a geneticist will have their electronic medical records reviewed and, if eligible for the study, will answer questions conducted by the virtual assistant using AI about their family history of cancer.
This study will be conducted in two centers. The first is the Breast Center at Hospital Moinhos de Vento, designated as the coordinating center, located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is a private center composed of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to breast health care, from routine exams for early detection of malignant tumors, diagnosis, comprehensive treatment at different stages of the disease, to post-treatment follow-up. The second center, designated as a participant, is the Human Genetics Center (CEGH/ICB), located in Goiânia, Brazil. This entity works interdisciplinarily and is linked to the Institute of Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), with the aim of developing activities in diagnosis, education, research, and outreach in the field of human genetics.
CEGH/ICB is a public institution that serves women with breast cancer from the Unified Health System (SUS), and its role in the research is to share collected data from the population of interest with the coordinating center.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement between AI tool results and genetic test results | Implement the use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool, WeConecta, to predict the genetic risk of hereditary breast cancer in women treated at a private and public institution, including analyses of the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the tool in comparison with the results of the genetic test. Hypothesis: The artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool may present a strong level of agreement regarding the indication for genetic counseling in relation to the indication of mastologists, impacting genetic testing. | Through study completion, an average at one year. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the rate of agreement between the AI tool and the breast surgeon | Comparison between the number of participants who were indicated to genetic counseling through the AI tool and according to the opinion of the mastologist | Through study completion, an average at one year. |
| Agreement between hereditary breast cancer risk identified by the AI tool and the results of genetic testing. |

Convenience sampling will be performed, inviting all women treated at both institutions from January 2017 to June 2024 who have been considered by breast surgeons as genetic risk patients and have undergone genetic testing with a geneticist, regardless of whether they have invasive breast carcinoma.
