Mayo Clinic cancer genetics research study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects blood, saliva, tumor tissue, or hair samples to look for inherited and tumor-related gene changes that may explain your cancer, guide prevention, or help find better treatments. You can join if you are a Mayo Clinic patient with cancer and your doctor has ordered genetic testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a Mayo Clinic patient with a confirmed cancer diagnosis
- Your doctor has ordered genetic testing of your tumor, your blood, or both
- You are 18 years or older
- You can provide a blood, saliva, hair follicle, or tumor tissue sample
- You are aware of your cancer diagnosis and can give consent

This study looks at cancer-related inherited gene changes using blood samples. It may help patients and doctors understand cancer risk and guide treatment planning, especially across different ethnic communities.
This study will collect blood samples from people who have had or are scheduled to have a multi-cancer detection test. Researchers want to learn more about how well these tests work and how the results affect follow-up care.
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 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 uses advanced testing (called multi-omics) to look at your genes, proteins, and other molecules to discover new things about health and disease. You'll need to be a Mayo Clinic patient, able to receive packages, and not have a history of blood cancer or a donor bone marrow transplant.
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
