First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a culturally-informed telephone counseling program can help Latina women at high risk for hereditary breast or ovarian cancer learn more about their risk and feel more in control. About 493 women with a personal or family history of these cancers will take part. The goal is to see if this approach reduces anxiety and improves knowledge compared to standard care.
