Get help enrolling in a genomics-based cancer trial
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study helps support people who are from groups less represented in cancer genetics research to get enrolled in genomics-based cancer trials. If you’re starting a new patient visit for an advanced stomach, blood, or lung cancer, this may guide you through options that use your genetic information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are Black, Latinx, or age 70 or older
- You have an upcoming new patient appointment
- You have an advanced stomach (GI), blood (hematologic), or lung (thoracic) cancer that needs active treatment
- You receive care at a DFCI site listed for this study (Longwood/Chestnut Hill, St. Elizabeth’s, or Merrimack Valley)

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.
This trial studies how doing genetic (DNA) testing on your cancer helps doctors choose targeted treatments, and how those treatments affect outcomes. It is for adults whose cancer has not responded to the first standard treatment or who do not have curative options.
This study tests whether a special program led by oncology nurses can help more people with solid tumor cancers get genetic testing. If you are starting a new treatment and have not had genetic testing before, this program may help you learn about your cancer risks and treatment options.
This study helps Black and Hispanic women ages 45-74 get both breast and colorectal cancer screenings and genetic services. It provides a navigator to guide you through the process.
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
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.
