Improving genetic testing in families with hereditary cancer
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.
