Can doctors help families unlock Life-Saving genetic secrets?
NCT ID NCT05772130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new way to help family members of cancer patients learn if they have inherited a higher risk for cancer. About 240 people with a known cancer gene change will be asked to share their test results with their close relatives, either on their own or with help from their doctor. The goal is to see if doctor-assisted communication leads to more relatives getting tested and getting the care they need.
