Scientists track how families use new cancer gene tests
NCT ID NCT02324062
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a new type of genetic test, which checks 25 genes linked to hereditary cancers, is used in real-world medical care. Researchers enrolled over 1,500 people at high risk for hereditary cancers to take the test. They then followed participants for up to 5 years to see how the test results affected their medical decisions and personal understanding of their cancer risk.
