Could pregnancy checkups also screen for cancer genes?
NCT ID NCT07052266
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether offering genetic testing for inherited cancer risk (like BRCA1/2) during routine pregnancy or fertility care is practical and acceptable to patients. Researchers will enroll 550 people receiving prenatal or preconception care at Weill Cornell Medicine. The goal is to see how many complete both standard prenatal genetic screening and the optional cancer risk screening, and to understand if this approach could help catch cancer risks earlier, especially in underserved groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test (genetic screening)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that offering cancer genetic testing during pregnancy or fertility care is practical and welcomed, potentially leading to earlier cancer detection and prevention in a broader population.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It measures interest and completion rates, not health outcomes. Results may not apply to all populations or settings.
