Survey about Endometrial Cancer Risk and Risk-Reducing Surgery for Women with a BRCA1/2 Mutation or Mutation in the Family
About the Study
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic, McGill University and the nonprofit organization, FORCE are conducting an anonymous survey of women who have a mutation in or OR come from a family with a known or mutation but tested negative or haven't had testing. We are interested in learning about the information needs and decisions made related to endometrial (uterine) cancer risk.

Women are eligible if they:
- Are 18 years or older.
