Can a registry help more families get tested for cancer genes?
NCT ID NCT07626814
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 545 people with hereditary cancer syndromes and their relatives. It compared the usual method of asking patients to share testing information with family members to a new method where a registry also sends reminders. The goal was to see if the registry-aided approach increases the number of relatives who get tested for cancer genes.
