Study of childhood cancer risk in families
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or a family member) have a history that fits the study’s definition of “familial cancer”
- If you are enrolling as a relative, you may be affected by cancer or unaffected
- You must be able and willing to sign an informed consent form (or your legal representative can)
- If you had a bone marrow transplant, you must have pre-transplant blood/DNA available, or you may need to provide a skin sample
- The study is not intended to replace standard clinical genetic testing, which you may still want to get

This study screens people who may have an inherited risk for certain cancers due to their personal or family medical history or known gene changes. By completing a survey, you can help researchers find the right study for you and learn more about your cancer risk.
This study collects medical and genetic information to better understand how often cancer develops in people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and related family risks. It may help families and doctors plan earlier awareness and follow-up over a person’s lifetime.
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.
This study looks at how inherited “cancer predisposition” conditions run in families, even if a child has not had cancer yet. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and guide future monitoring or care.
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.
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
