Video aims to ease confusion for families facing childhood cancer genetic tests

NCT ID NCT05472714

Summary

This study tested whether a short educational video could help families understand genetic testing when a child is newly diagnosed with cancer. Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia created the video to explain a common test that looks for inherited cancer risks. They compared knowledge and satisfaction between families who saw the video and those who received standard counseling alone.
