Phone vs in-person genetic counseling for cancer risk
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of getting genetic counseling—by phone/video or in person—for people who may have hereditary cancer syndromes like HBOC or Lynch syndrome. It may help find which counseling approach works best for understanding results and next steps.
