About this trial
The goal of this study is to identify new markers to predict the risk of developing cancer, primarily breast cancer. For this purpose, researchers will compare data obtained from cancer patients and healthy individuals. If characteristic differences are identified, e.g. in biomarkers, life style or family history, this may indicate a person's increased risk of developing cancer.

Treatments tested in this trial
Biomaterial collection
Other interventionAll subjects will be asked to provide biomaterial (blood or saliva) for bio marker screening and analysis. Additional biomaterial (breath, urin, stool) is optional.
BayPass mobile application
Other interventionAll subjects will be asked to use the study-specific mobile application "BayPass" to complete questionnaires and provide results from screening examinations over a course of 12 months.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Assessment of breast cancer risk by polygenic risk score in combination with app-based self-reported health behavior in the study population
Polygenic cancer risk score (PRS) as a numeric value using BOADICEA/CanRisk as absolute 10-year breast cancer risk and as relative risk compared with avarage women at the same age
