Tracking Care for Inherited Cancer Risk Genes
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study helps women with inherited gene mutations (like BRCA1/2 or Lynch syndrome genes) stay on top of their cancer screening and prevention care. Researchers will use a smartphone app to understand how women manage their health and what support they need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and at least 18 years old (specific age depends on your gene mutation)
- You have a confirmed pathogenic or deleterious mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or Lynch syndrome genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, or EPCAM)
- You speak and read English or Spanish
- You have a smartphone (iPhone or Android) and can use the study app on it
- You have not had both ovaries and fallopian tubes surgically removed (for BRCA carriers)
- You are not currently undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and you have not had a prior breast or gynecologic cancer

This trial helps people with certain genetic mutations linked to breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer (and their family members) learn about genetic testing and connect with resources. It aims to improve access to care for families affected by these conditions.
This study tests a way to help people with inherited cancer gene mutations manage their health, especially if they live in rural areas. You join if you found out about the mutation more than a year ago.
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 tests a tool to help primary care doctors provide better cancer prevention care for people with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome (LS). It aims to ensure you're up-to-date on recommended screenings and preventive steps.
This study tests a website called Kindred that helps African American families understand genetic cancer risk and genetic testing. You would help researchers learn if this tool helps families talk about and understand hereditary cancer risks like BRCA mutations and Lynch Syndrome.
This study creates a platform for women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation to be followed over time. It aims to better understand and manage cancer risks associated with these mutations.
