Summary

This study looks at the best way to inform close relatives (parents, siblings, children) of people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer about their possible genetic risk. About 30% of colorectal cancers have a genetic link, but many at-risk relatives don't know it. The study compares having the patient share genetic test results versus having a healthcare provider do it, to see which method leads to more relatives getting tested.
