First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a web-based education tool called HOPE-Genomics that teaches cancer patients about their genetic test results. About 465 adults with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer are taking part. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients remember and understand their genomic information, which could lead to better care.
