Genetic study for families with cancer history
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks for inherited genes that may increase the risk of cancer. If you or your family have had certain patterns of cancer, you may be able to join and help researchers understand cancer genetics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be any age.
- You have had cancer before age 50.
- You have had more than one cancer in your lifetime.
- You have a family history of the same type of cancer across generations.
- You have a rare cancer and a family history of rare cancers.
- You are not currently in prison and do not have a known inherited cancer syndrome.

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 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 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 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 looks at genetic changes linked to breast, ovarian, or digestive cancers. It may help doctors better understand inherited cancer risks.
