Show abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death, with incidence rising substantially among individuals under 50 years of age. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) hold promise for identifying high-risk individuals; when combined with lifestyle factors, they substantially improve prediction accuracy compared with models based on lifestyle factors alone. However, few clinical tools currently exist that facilitate this integrated, PRS-enhanced risk assessment. To bridge this gap, we developed MyGeneRisk Colon, a publicly accessible web portal that delivers individualized CRC risk prediction by incorporating genetic, demographic, family history, and lifestyle factors. This paper details the development of the underlying risk prediction model, the portal's architecture and data security, our reporting framework, and engagement with a community advisory panel. Designed as a user-friendly platform, MyGeneRisk Colon aims to effectively communicate personalized CRC risk profiles and educate users and healthcare providers about prevention strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
