Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a higher-than-average risk for cancer based on genetics, family history, or risk factors (like certain exposures)
- You may have had cancer before, including non-spreading cancers or skin/local prostate cancers
- You may have specific pre-cancer conditions or high-risk lesions (for example, Barrett’s esophagus, abnormal cells in the cervix, or certain prostate/bladder changes)
- If you’re a cancer survivor, your prior treatment or known exposures must raise your future cancer risk
- You must be the type of person the study tracks for certain body areas (breast, GI/liver/pancreas, lungs, throat/neck, skin, blood, pelvis/gynecologic, and others)

This study looks for inherited (family-passed) genetic changes that may raise the risk of lung cancer and related thoracic cancers. It may help people and families understand their genetic risk by collecting health information and sometimes specimens from patients and relatives.
This study creates a registry to better understand and improve cancer screening for people at higher risk. By joining, you help researchers learn how to prevent and manage cancer in your community.
This study tests if a simple blood or fluid test can find cancer early in people with a higher-than-average risk. If you have certain genetic mutations, a strong family history of cancer, or other high-risk conditions, you may be able to join.
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 inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
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.
