Using genetic risk scores to improve breast cancer prevention
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to use your genetic information (along with your family history) to better understand your personal risk for breast cancer. The goal is to see if giving this risk report to women with higher genetic risk can help them and their doctors make more informed decisions about screening and prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who either has breast cancer in one breast, has had ovarian cancer, or has a strong family history of breast cancer.
- Your calculated risk of carrying a high-risk gene change is greater than 5% (the study will help determine this).
- You have not had breast cancer in both breasts, and you have not had both breasts removed.
- You are willing and able to give your informed consent to participate.
- You have not been in another breast cancer prevention study that involved a new treatment in the last year.

This is an observational study that looks at how different cancer prevention approaches affect women with harmful (deleterious) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. It may help improve future prevention and follow-up plans for women at higher inherited risk.
This trial tests a program to help women in rural public health clinics learn about their family history of BRCA-related cancers. It aims to increase genetic screening and counseling for those at higher risk.
This study follows women who carry gene mutations that increase ovarian cancer risk to understand how preventive surgery affects their health, quality of life, and peace of mind. Researchers will track your outcomes over 3 years to help inform future treatment decisions for others at similar risk.
This trial enrolls women who are at higher-than-usual risk of developing breast cancer to help guide prevention and monitoring. You may be asked to get a recent mammogram, have blood tests, and follow medication/supplement changes.
This study asks women to complete surveys after learning their genetic risk results for certain breast cancer–related gene changes. It helps researchers understand how people respond and what they think or feel after getting these results.
This study tests if a simple blood or fluid test can find cancer early in people with a higher-than-average risk. If you have certain genetic mutations, a strong family history of cancer, or other high-risk conditions, you may be able to join.
