Researchers from the University of Illinois, Chicago Cancer Center invite breast cancer survivors who were diagnosed under the age of 45 to share their diagnosis stories. You will be asked to use your own words to share your experience on an online questionnaire. 

The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project is a nationwide genomic research study for men with advanced and/or metastatic prostate cancer. Patients can join online and participate by sharing their medical information and samples. The goal of the project is to generate a comprehensive database that will be shared with the entire research community to accelerate discoveries in prostate cancer.

The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project is a patient-partnered initiative that directly engages patients across the US & Canada to transform our understanding of metastatic breast cancer. Patients participate by sharing their medical information, tumor samples, and their voices, partnering with the project team to accelerate discoveries. There is no cost to participate and only minimal effort is required to have a major impact.
 

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) are recruiting participants with known inherited mutation.  We aim to help participants talk to relatives (both immediate and distant) about their family history and genetic test results, to connect them with others who have the same variant, and to their family trees together.  The study provides tools and resources to help at-risk relatives get genetic testing through their own local doctors.

The PALB2 Study is an international research study to better understand breast cancer treatment among women with a PALB2 gene mutation. Participants are asked to complete online or paper study questionnaires (every two years for 10 years) and share their family history, medical, and genetics records.

The research laboratory at the Abramson Cancer Center is studying genetic sources of cancer risk and currently has one of the largest collections (also called a registry) of families with known or suspected risk in the world. A number of research projects are performed in collaboration with this registry. Research participants receive a numerical identification number that protects their privacy. Collaborating centers do not have access to personal identifiers such as names and dates of birth because only the numerical identifiers are shared.

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.
