New study tests tools to help families share cancer genetic results

NCT ID NCT04763915

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

The IMPACT Study is testing two online tools—GeneSHARE and LivingLabReport—to help people with inherited cancer gene variants share their results with family members and follow cancer screening guidelines. The study involves 720 adults who have a genetic variant linked to cancers like breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will measure whether these tools improve family communication and guideline-based care over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

GeneSHARE web-based toolkit and LivingLabReport website

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better ways for people with inherited cancer risks to communicate with family and follow recommended screenings.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so it won't directly treat or cure cancer. Results depend on participants' willingness to use the tools and share information.
