Project description:This study, conducted by NHGRI and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, will develop statistical approaches for modeling family social structure and apply these models to explore the role of family social structure in participation in genetic testing and counseling, disclosure of test results and adjustment to risk status. With recent genetic advances and the ability to test for hereditary illnesses, methods that provide an understanding of the family social structure and how that structure affects the dissemination of genetic risk information are increasingly important.
The data for this study were collected by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center as part of a study on family communication and family functioning with regard to genetic testing for hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). Relatives of people with HNPCC are more likely than the general population to get colon cancer and other types of cancer if they have inherited the gene alteration (mutation) that predisposes to the disease. This alteration can be passed on from a parent to some or all of his or her children.
In the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center study, telephone interviews were conducted with 80 adult members of 16 extended families with a known gene alteration predisposing for HNPCC. These participants included people who had been diagnosed with an HNPCC syndrome cancer, their unaffected family members who were at risk of carrying a gene mutation for HNPCC, and their spouses. Participants were interviewed about their feelings, moods, coping style, and relationships with their spouse, relatives, and friends, about their willingness to have genetic testing, and about their feelings and beliefs about colon cancer, cancer screening and genetic testing and counseling. Some participants were asked about their family communication style and how the family coped with the idea of genetic testing and with the results, if testing was done.
The information obtained from the current study may help facilitate family participation, communication and psychological adjustment regarding risk information about genetic diseases.

Project description:This is a community-based study requiring participant-self-enrollment, that can help to increase the rates of genetic testing among the family members of people who have been diagnosed with a hereditary cancer syndrome. The two main factors in this study are the IGNITE-TX intervention (website and navigator) and the free genetic counseling and testing.
The IGNITE-TX Intervention is an innovative multi-modal intervention, with two components: a) interactive web "IGNITE-TX Hub" and b) genetic family navigators.

Project description:Breast, colorectal, ovarian, and endometrial cancers constitute approximately 30% of newly diagnosed cancer cases in Switzerland and affect more than 12,000 individuals annually. Several hundred of these patients are likely to carry known genetic mutations associated with HBOC or LS. Genetic testing for hereditary susceptibility to cancer can prevent many cancer deaths through early identification and engagement in high-risk management care that involves intensive surveillance, chemoprevention and/or prophylactic surgery. However, current rates of genetic testing indicate that many Swiss mutation carriers and their family members do not use cancer genetic services (counseling and/or testing), either due to lack of coordination of care or due to lack of communication about the mutation among family members.
Cascade screening identifies and tests family members of a known mutation carrier. It determines whether asymptomatic family members are carriers of the identified mutation and proposes management options to reduce harmful outcomes. Robust evidence of basic science and descriptive population-based studies in Switzerland support the necessity of cascade screening for HBOC and LS. However, translation of this knowledge into public health interventions is lacking.
Specific Aims of the CASCADE study are:
1. Survey Index Patients diagnosed with HBOC or LS from clinic-based genetic testing records and determine their cancer status and surveillance practices; needs for coordination of medical care; psychosocial needs; patient-provider and patient-family communication needs; quality of life; willingness to serve as advocates for cancer genetic services for blood relatives.
2. Survey first- and second-degree relatives, and first cousins identified from pedigrees and/or family history records of HBOC and LS Index Patients and determine their cancer and mutation status; cancer surveillance practices; needs for coordination of medical care; barriers and facilitators to using cancer genetic services; psychosocial needs; patient-provider and patient-family communication needs; quality of life; willingness to participate in a study designed to increase use of cancer genetic services.
3. Explore the influence of patient-provider communication about genetic cancer risk on patient-family communication and the acceptability of a family-based communication, coping, and decision support intervention with focus group(s) of mutation carriers and blood relatives.

Project description:Background and study aims
Patients who are diagnosed with womb, bowel, or ovarian cancer that fulfill NHS genetic testing criteria are recommended to have genetic testing to see if their cancer was related to an inherited gene alteration. Identifying carriers of alterations allows novel personalised cancer treatments, prevention of second cancers, and testing of family members for cancer screening and prevention. Genetic testing requires pre-test counselling to ensure patients are informed about the impact of having a genetic test and managing the result. This ‘genetic counselling’ has traditionally been provided by genetics services. However, it is now routinely being offered by cancer-treating teams in an approach called “mainstreaming”. Currently, the demand for genetic counselling and testing is swiftly increasing and capacity constraints requires the development of new scalable cost and resource-efficient implementation models. This study will assess if pre-test counselling and genetic testing can be done using a direct-to-patient model. Participants will receive genetic testing information on a smartphone app or website that they can access at home along with counselling support through a study telephone helpline. Those who agree to testing can consent via the app and perform testing at home with a saliva genetic testing kit delivered and returned by post. In the study this direct-to-patient approach is directly compared to the standard mainstreaming approach.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 years and over diagnosed with bowel, womb, or ovarian cancer who are eligible for NHS genetic testing
What does the study involve?
This study compares and evaluates the uptake of genetic testing using both approaches. The researchers also assess patient satisfaction, quality-of-life, and psychological outcomes following testing, using standardized or customized questionnaires over 1 year of follow-up. Clinician opinions will be elicited. Some patients will also be interviewed to assess attitudes, experiences, and impact on emotional wellbeing. An economic analysis will be undertaken to assess the cost-effectiveness of this approach for the NHS.

Project description:Background:
Research studies have shown that genetic changes and family history may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer.
Objectives:
To study men with specific genetic changes and determine who is at higher risk for getting prostate cancer. To study if certain genetic changes and family history can be used to help prevent or treat prostate cancer.
Eligibility:
Persons assigned male at birth ages 30-75 who have one or more specific genetic changes but without prostate cancer.
Design:
* This study does not perform genetic testing. All participants must have documented genetic changes and able to provide a copy of the report.
* Before enrollment, participants will provide a copy of documented genetic changes and go through a telephone interview to determine eligibility for the study.
* On enrollment, participants will have medical and family history review, medication review, physical exam, blood collection for clinical and research testing, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the prostate.
* Every year, participants will repeat the physical exam, medical history, family history, medication review, routine blood tests, including PSA and testosterone.
* Every 2 years, participants will repeat all the above plus prostate MRI and blood tests for research.
* If, at any time, the physical exam, blood tests or MRI are abnormal, participants may be asked to do a biopsy.
* If the biopsy results in prostate cancer, participants will be given counseling on next steps, general treatment recommendations, and then followed with a phone call each year.
* Participants may ask to speak with a genetic counselor.

Project description:NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing.
While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition.
The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
* Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
* Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
