Community clinics test smarter ways to spot cancer genes

NCT ID NCT05664867

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two methods of offering cancer genetic testing to patients in community health centers. One method lets primary care doctors order tests directly, while the other uses a specialist model with extra support. Researchers will track how many patients get tested and how long it takes, and interview patients and staff to learn what works best.
