New study explores how genetic risk info shapes ovarian cancer decisions
NCT ID NCT06436248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study interviews 24 women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations to learn how they might use polygenic risk scores and multi-cancer early detection tests when deciding about cancer screening or risk-reducing surgery. The goal is to better understand patient attitudes, not to test a treatment. Results could help doctors support informed decision-making.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female, age 25 or older (given that women under this age are not generally recommended to receive BRCA1/2 genetic testing) * Completed full sequence or targeted genetic testing with a clinically confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 deleterious mutation identified. * English-fluent; the surveys and interviews were designed and validated in English and are not currently available in other languages. Translation of questionnaires into other languages would require reestablishing the reliability and validity of these measures. Therefore, participants must be able to communicate in English to complete the surveys. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous receipt of any prophylactic oophorectomy * Personal history of ovarian cancer * Major psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment that in the judgment of the study investigators would preclude study participation. * Any patients who are unable to comply with the study procedures as determined by the study investigators or study staff.
