Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called MeTree that collects family health history to estimate a person's risk for inherited cancer. About 1,800 adults from three medical centers used the tool, and those found to be at high risk were offered genetic counseling. The goal is to see if the tool works better than standard methods for identifying people who could benefit from genetic counseling and cancer prevention.
