Help with family cancer gene testing and unclear results
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial helps people and their doctors understand and act on genetic test results, including when results are uncertain. It tests whether a structured approach improves who gets tested in families and helps patients and primary care providers stay up-to-date.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a current MSK patient and had genetic counseling within the last 3 months
- You are age 25 or older
- You can read and speak English or Spanish very well
- You must have the right type of genetic result: a family mutation in certain cancer-risk genes, or a VUS (uncertain) result in certain genes
- You (and for relatives, your family connection) must be able to create a MyMSK patient portal account and have an email address

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 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 study helps parents understand genetic test results that show they carry a gene linked to cancer risk. Researchers will talk with you about what these results mean for your family's health and how to share this information with relatives.
This study collects family and medical history to better understand inherited causes of blood cancers (like lymphoma) and related conditions. It may help researchers build genetic findings that could improve how families understand their risk and future care.
This trial helps people with certain genetic mutations linked to breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer (and their family members) learn about genetic testing and connect with resources. It aims to improve access to care for families affected by these conditions.
This study tests a family-centered way to share cancer genetic testing results with close relatives, so more relatives get genetic counseling and testing. It may help your eligible family members understand their risk and get the right next steps.
