10th edition SAS Health Innovation Series
These afternoon forums are designed to showcase cutting-edge ideas, strategies, and innovations transforming healthcare across the globe.
Topic: “Breast Cancer Screening and Genetic Testing in Singapore: Population Impact, Costs, and Policy Trade-offs”, presented by Konrad Kuc, FSAS, FASSA.
Synopsis:
Public discussion in Singapore has raised questions about whether health insurance should cover genetic testing for breast-cancer susceptibility. This presentation synthesises public data to assess the population and cost impact of enhanced screening and BRCA gene testing, finding that improved mammography participation offers the greatest population-level benefit, while genetic testing is most relevant for targeted high-risk groups. The analysis highlights trade-offs between clinical benefit, affordability, and risk selection that are relevant to health insurers and policymakers.
