Hays, KansasAges Any age - NCT07381985Enrolling by invitation
Managing hereditary cancer risk in rural areas
This study tests a way to help people with inherited cancer gene mutations manage their health, especially if they live in rural areas. You join if you found out about the mutation more than a year ago.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06914726Enrolling by invitation
Cancer risk follow-up care for hereditary syndromes
This study tests a tool to help primary care doctors provide better cancer prevention care for people with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome (LS). It aims to ensure you're up-to-date on recommended screenings and preventive steps.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT00005095Recruiting
Ovarian cancer risk study: specimens and health data
This study collects tissue samples and medical information from people at higher risk for ovarian cancer or undergoing gynecologic surgery. Researchers use this data to develop better ways to detect and prevent ovarian cancer early.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT02863172Recruiting
Genetic studies in families with inherited colon cancer
This study looks at genetic reasons some families get colon cancer due to inherited (run-in-the-family) syndromes. It may help doctors better understand risk and tailor care for you or your relatives.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06096688Recruiting
Finding new ways to lower colorectal and endometrial cancer risk
This study looks for new ways to lower the risk of colorectal and endometrial cancers. It collects tissue and information from people who are getting certain procedures or treatments at Weill Cornell Medicine.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07471958Recruiting
Online genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk
This study tests a new online way to offer genetic testing and counseling for people concerned about hereditary cancer. It aims to make it easier and faster to access these services from home.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05427240Recruiting
Check if an online approach works for cancer gene testing
This study tests an e-health (online) way to help people get genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk. It is meant for people who have never had germline genetic testing before and may qualify for standard genetic testing based on cancer risk guidelines.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06927947Recruiting
Helping families learn about inherited cancer risk
This study tests different ways to help family members of people with inherited cancer syndromes get genetic testing. It aims to improve cancer prevention and early detection.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05495776Recruiting
Study checks how often Lynch syndrome happens in colon cancer
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07378423Recruiting
Survey on signs of cancer at birth
This trial asks newly diagnosed children and young adults with certain types of cancer to fill out a questionnaire about signs of cancer present at birth. The answers may help improve early detection of childhood cancer.
BernAges Up to 21 years - NCT06917794Enrolling by invitation
Genetic risk study for colon cancer patients
This study looks at how your genetic background and ancestry affect your risk for colon cancer. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and have a tumor sample available, you may be able to help researchers develop better risk scores.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT05350761Recruiting
Study rare tumors and inherited cancer risk in families
This study looks at people who have rare or unusual cancers or who may have an inherited (family) risk for cancer. It helps researchers learn what genetic or other factors might be involved by collecting family history and medical records, including pathology slides.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT03050268Recruiting
Study of childhood cancer risk in families
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT03124212Recruiting
Genetic testing guidance for inherited breast, ovarian, or colon cancer risk
This study helps people in Switzerland who already have a known inherited cancer gene change understand what it means for them and their family. It focuses on people with specific known mutations related to hereditary breast/ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome.
