This study offers a web-based program to help African American families better understand genetic cancer risk and genetic testing. It aims to improve communication and decision-making about cancer risk in families with a history of hereditary cancer.
This study tests a family-centered way to share cancer genetic testing results with close relatives, so more relatives get genetic counseling and testing. It may help your eligible family members understand their risk and get the right next steps.
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
This study looks at whether helping people with hereditary cancer genetic changes (like BRCA or Lynch syndrome) communicate with their at-risk relatives leads to more family members getting tested. It aims to improve cancer prevention and early detection.
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 study looks at how parents and children communicate after learning about an inherited (genetic) cancer risk. It may help researchers find better ways to support families in these conversations.
