This large study is testing whether a new laser-based blood test can help screen for breast cancer. Researchers will compare blood samples from women with and without breast cancer to see if the test can accurately spot the disease. If it works, it could offer a less invasive way…

This study tests a surgery called radical fimbriectomy in women with BRCA mutations who are at high risk for pelvic cancer but want to keep their ovaries. The procedure removes the fallopian tubes, where many of these cancers start, while leaving the ovaries to produce natural ho…

This study tests whether offering online educational videos and mailed saliva genetic testing kits helps more first-degree relatives of people with BRCA mutations get tested, compared to standard care with a family letter. About 820 participants will be enrolled across several me…

This study is testing a digital health tool to help more people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent get tested for BRCA gene mutations, which increase cancer risk. Over 5,400 participants will use a web portal to learn about testing and decide whether to proceed. The goal is to see if th…

This study looks at 800 people with a type of breast cancer called lobular breast cancer. Researchers are searching for inherited gene changes that may raise cancer risk. Depending on the gene found, patients may get closer monitoring or preventive surgery. The goal is to tailor …

This study looks at whether a web-based educational program can help relatives of people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations understand their genetic testing options. About 240 adults who are close relatives of someone with a BRCA mutation will take part. Participants will either use t…

This study checks how well the immune system works in healthy people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. About 50 adults over age 25 who carry these gene changes but have not had cancer will get a seasonal flu vaccine. Researchers will measure their antibody and immune cell respo…
