Genetic testing study for cancer patients in different ethnic groups
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at cancer-related inherited gene changes using blood samples. It may help patients and doctors understand cancer risk and guide treatment planning, especially across different ethnic communities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects blood, saliva, tumor tissue, or hair samples to look for inherited and tumor-related gene changes that may explain your cancer, guide prevention, or help find better treatments. You can join if you are a Mayo Clinic patient with cancer and your doctor has ordered genetic testing.
This trial offers genetic testing to American Indian adults who have or have had cancer, to help prevent future cancers. It aims to make testing more accessible to these communities.
This study offers free genetic testing to cancer patients and their healthcare providers. It aims to help people who may not have easy access to genetic testing understand their cancer risk.
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
This study will collect blood samples from people who have had or are scheduled to have a multi-cancer detection test. Researchers want to learn more about how well these tests work and how the results affect follow-up care.
This study collects and analyzes genetic information from tissue or blood samples to help understand cancer and related inherited (family) risk. It may involve testing results being shared with you or your care team, depending on what samples are available.
