Talking study for teens with inherited cancer risk
This study looks at how parents and children communicate after learning about an inherited (genetic) cancer risk. It may help researchers find better ways to support families in these conversations.

Patient registry for people who had genetic testing
This registry collects past and ongoing health and genetic testing information from adults who have had germline or other genetic/blood biomarker tests. It helps researchers learn patterns that may improve cancer care in the future.

Pancreatic cancer risk and early-detection registry study
This study builds a database of people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (or certain early warning findings) to help find better ways to detect the disease early. You may be asked to complete health questionnaires and possibly donate a blood/saliva/swab sample.

What taking part in a genetic predisposition study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
