First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study aims to find rare genetic changes that increase the risk of developing cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, and tumor samples from 100 people who have had multiple cancers or have a strong family history of cancer, as well as their relatives. By sequencing the DNA, they hope to identify mutations that may cause cancer, which could lead to better screening and prevention in the future. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
