Genetic information assistant for cancer risk testing
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a tool called GIA (Genetic Information Assistant) that helps people understand genetic testing for cancer risk. You would use the tool on a smartphone or computer during a genetic counseling session.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at high risk for having a hereditary cancer gene mutation, as determined by a genetic counselor or doctor.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a smartphone with cell or internet service, or a computer with internet.
- You are comfortable using your smartphone or computer to interact with the GIA tool.
- You can communicate in English or Spanish.
- You have not had comprehensive cancer genetic testing (panel testing) before.

This study looks at how a specific DNA genetic change (variant) runs within cancer families. It may help researchers better understand cancer risk and improve genetic testing and interpretation.
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 offers free genetic counseling and testing to adult family members of people who carry a cancer-related gene change. It aims to find more people at risk and help them take steps to protect their health.
This study helps prostate cancer survivors get genetic testing for inherited cancer risk. It aims to make testing easier to access and understand.
This study offers free genetic testing to Black or African American people who have had certain cancers. It aims to find inherited gene changes that increase cancer risk and improve health equity.
This study tests a digital tool that helps cancer doctors offer genetic testing to more patients. If you've already had genetic testing started by your oncologist, you may be able to join.
