Genetic counseling by phone may ease cancer fears in High-Risk women
NCT ID NCT02993068
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether watching an online genetics video, with or without phone counseling from a genetic counselor, can reduce the stress women feel about their cancer risk. It involves 5,200 women aged 30 or older who have had triple-negative breast cancer and still have at least one ovary. The goal is to learn which approach works best for managing cancer-related distress.
