Genetic testing for cancer risk in families
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks for genetic changes that may explain why some people get cancer earlier or more often than expected. It may help identify cancer risk patterns in you and your family, and guide what doctors watch for next.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be any age to join.
- You must have a cancer history or family pattern that suggests inherited risk (details below).
- You need to be able to share your medical records and your family cancer history.
- You should not already have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of a known hereditary cancer syndrome that fits your situation.
- You cannot be incarcerated to participate.

This study looks at whether DNA (from a tumor or related samples) can help identify inherited cancer risk in people who develop cancer at a young age. It may help families learn more about risk factors and guide future screening or prevention.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
This study looks at how genes passed down in families might increase the chance of getting cancer. It collects samples from children with cancer and their family members to better understand cancer risks.
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 how a specific DNA genetic change (variant) runs within cancer families. It may help researchers better understand cancer risk and improve genetic testing and interpretation.
This study helps people who carry a known cancer-related gene variant share information with their close family members. We offer free genetic testing to eligible relatives who have not yet been tested.
