New online tool aims to help families uncover hidden cancer risks
NCT ID NCT07478237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new online program can help families understand their inherited cancer risk and encourage relatives to get low-cost genetic testing. Researchers will enroll 400 adults who carry a cancer-related gene change and their family members. The goal is to see if the program increases the number of relatives who get tested.
