Study reveals why many breast cancer patients miss out on genomic testing
NCT ID NCT05916378
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed over 500 breast cancer patients from low-income and minority groups in Northern California to find out what stops them from getting genomic testing. Researchers used an online survey and phone interviews to gather information. The goal was to identify barriers so that future policies can make testing more fair and accessible.
