Can a video chat boost genetic testing for pancreatic cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT03762590
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to educate family members of pancreatic cancer patients about genetic testing. Researchers will compare two online education methods to see which one encourages more people to get tested for inherited cancer risk genes. About 1,000 adult relatives of pancreatic cancer patients will participate by watching educational materials and optionally providing a saliva sample for testing. The goal is to help families understand their cancer risk and consider preventive screening options.
