Surveys, Registries, Interviews
Online survey for women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 inherited mutation and no personal history of cancer.
We hope to understand women’s preferences about the benefits and effects of cancer-preventing surgeries. In this survey of women ages 25-50 with an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and no personal history of cancer, we present scenarios and ask participants to make hypothetical choices. Your responses will help us to design educational tools for people who are at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer who face personal decisions about cancer prevention.

Surveys, Registries, Interviews
PROMPT is an online research registry for people who have had genetic panel testing (also known as multiplex testing) — a newer form of genetic testing that looks for mutations in several different genes at once. All genes on the panels have been linked to an increased risk of cancer, but some risks are better known than others.
The goal of the PROMPT Registry is to follow people with mutations or variants in genes on these panels, so that patients, physicians, and researchers can more clearly understand these lesser-known risks.
