About the Study
This study is looking at how well an experimental blood test works for finding possible cancers earlier in people who have a higher-than-average risk of cancer because of an , including , , , , , , , , , , and . Researchers will compare people who get the blood test plus their usual cancer screening with people who continue with usual screening alone. The study will also look at whether the blood test is linked with cancers being found at an earlier and how receiving blood test results affects quality of life and stress.
This Study is Open To:
You may be able to join this study if you:
- Have an , including , , , , , , , , , , and TP53
- This may include people with a confirmed genetic mutation, or people whose genetic testing did not find a clear answer but whose family history strongly suggests one of these syndromes
- Are already getting standard (usual) cancer screening or surveillance with a managing healthcare provider
This Study is NOT Open To:
You may not join the study if you:
- Have had cancer that was diagnosed and treated within the last 3 years (if you have had cancer before, your treatment must have been completed successfully at least 3 years before your first study blood draw)
- Were diagnosed with cancer more than 3 years ago but did not receive treatment for that cancer
- Are currently having tests to check for a suspected cancer
- Would not be able to follow the study requirements (for example, coming in for regular blood draws if assigned to the blood test group)
What the Study Involves
If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. You and the study team will know which group you are in.
Group 1: (Blood Test)
- Provide blood samples about every 4 months for up to 4 years (either at the study hospital or a local lab)
- Keep getting your regular, recommended cancer screening
- Fill out short questionnaires and, for some people, take part in interviews about your experience with the blood test
Group 2: (Standard Cancer Screening)
- Keep getting your regular, recommended cancer screening
- Fill out short questionnaires and, for some people, take part in interviews about your experience with cancer screening and monitoring
