Identifying Hereditary Cancer Risk in Underserved Texas Women
This study aims to find women in Texas who are at risk for hereditary (passed down through families) breast and colorectal cancers. Researchers will use mobile mammography units to reach women who might not otherwise have access to these services. If you are a woman aged 18 or older and are scheduled for a mammogram at a Project VALET mobile unit, you may be able to join. Participants will provide a saliva sample for genetic testing and answer a screening form about their demographic details. The main goal is to identify women who would benefit from standard genetic counseling based on national guidelines. The study plans to enroll 1000 participants and is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
