ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Strategic Targeting for Optimal Prevention of Cancer," is focused on improving the early detection of cancer. The main goal is to collect information over time to see how well hereditary cancer genomic testing—essentially a genetic test that looks for inherited cancer risks—can help doctors understand a patient’s overall risk for cancer. This knowledge may guide doctors in taking preventive actions, which could lead to earlier detection and treatment of cancer.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be 65 years or older and have had a hereditary cancer test ordered by their doctor because it was medically necessary. Participants should either have a history of cancer themselves or have a family member who has had cancer. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and those who join can expect to share their medical history and undergo genetic testing. It’s important to note that individuals who are currently hospitalized, incarcerated, or unable to provide accurate health information due to mental incapacity are not eligible to participate. This study aims to enhance our understanding of cancer risks and improve prevention strategies for those most at risk.
