Cancer gene study for American Indians

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 study looks at the genetic information (DNA) from your blood and from saved tumor tissue to better understand certain cancers, especially rare cancers with a poor outlook. It may help researchers learn why these cancers behave the way they do and guide future treatments.

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 pancreatic and kidney cancers in Native American patients to learn more about these diseases and potentially find better treatments. If you join, researchers will use your stored tumor sample for genetic testing.

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.
