Official title
Kindred: Family Centered Approaches to Promoting Cascade Screening for Hereditary Cancer Syndromes Among African Americans
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This clinical trial studies whether a web-based program, Kindred, works to improve the understanding of genetic cancer risk and cancer genetic testing in African American families. Between 5% and 10% of all cancers are caused by genetic changes that are hereditary, which means that they run in families. Some kinds of cancer or a family history of cancer means individuals are more likely to have a genetic change. If a genetic change is identified in a family, other relatives can choose to undergo hereditary cancer genetic testing to better understand their cancer risk. In families where a genetic change is not identified, or results are uncertain, relatives may also benefit from discussing their cancer risk with providers and, in some cases, getting hereditary cancer genetic testing themselves. Research has shown that African Americans are less likely than other racial groups to engage in cancer genetic testing. Kindred is an online tool that provides information so individuals can learn about their cancer genetic test results, how cancer genetic testing can help individuals and families understand their overall cancer risk (and strategies for reducing risk), and ways to talk with each other about cancer risk and health. This may be an effective way to improve the understanding of genetic cancer risk and cancer genetic testing in African American families.
