Cancer genetic testing for relatives
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study offers free genetic counseling and testing to adult family members of people who carry a cancer-related gene change. It aims to find more people at risk and help them take steps to protect their health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks for inherited genes that may increase the risk of cancer. If you or your family have had certain patterns of cancer, you may be able to join and help researchers understand cancer genetics.
This study looks at whether DNA (from a tumor or related samples) can help identify inherited cancer risk in people who develop cancer at a young age. It may help families learn more about risk factors and guide future screening or prevention.
This study looks at how a specific DNA genetic change (variant) runs within cancer families. It may help researchers better understand cancer risk and improve genetic testing and interpretation.
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.
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 tests different ways to help family members of people with inherited cancer syndromes get genetic testing. It aims to improve cancer prevention and early detection.
