Talking study for teens with inherited cancer risk
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how parents and children communicate after learning about an inherited (genetic) cancer risk. It may help researchers find better ways to support families in these conversations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 24 years old (including 10 and 24)
- You had genetic testing and were told you have a harmful or likely harmful cancer-risk gene variant
- That genetic result was shared with you (disclosed to you)
- You have a main caregiver who is willing to join the study with you
- You and your caregiver can speak and read English
- Your caregiver is 18 or older

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 helps people who carry a known cancer-related gene variant share information with their close family members. We offer free genetic testing to eligible relatives who have not yet been tested.
This study looks for genetic changes that may explain why some people get cancer earlier or more often than expected. It may help identify cancer risk patterns in you and your family, and guide what doctors watch for next.
This study looks at how teens and young adults with tough-to-treat cancers, and their families, want to hear news about their cancer. It will help doctors learn the best ways to share information during check-ups and scans.
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 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.
