Cancer gene study for American Indians
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes of tumors from American Indian adults with cancer to learn more about the disease. It aims to improve understanding and treatment for this community.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an American Indian from a tribe in New Mexico or nearby states
- You are 18 years or older
- You have cancer and are currently getting treatment, or you have had cancer in the past

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.
This study collects blood and saliva to look for inherited gene changes in people who have been diagnosed with cancer. It may help researchers understand what genetic risks could be involved, which could guide future cancer care.
This trial offers genetic testing to American Indian adults who have or have had cancer, to help prevent future cancers. It aims to make testing more accessible to these communities.
This study looks at the genes of prostate cancer in Native American people. It aims to learn more about the disease in this population by testing stored tumor samples. You can join if you have a prostate cancer diagnosis and have a tumor sample available.
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 tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
