Trial Information

Cancer Screening and Prevention Program for High Risk Women

The objectives of this study are to be a resource of information on women's cancers,
including the availability of a genetics counselor for women at risk for hereditary cancer,
especially ovarian cancer; to provide referrals for diagnostic tests and appropriate clinics
involved in early detection of cancer; to provide access to clinical trials and
investigational screening methods in cancer early detection and prevention, whenever
applicable; to provide women with educational materials; to develop a database of
information compiled from the questionnaires and clinics for use in future studies; to
create a registry of family history data from women of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds
who attend our clinic, i.e. who perceive themselves to be at increased risk of breast or
gynecologic cancers.Women that participate in the study will be interviewed and asked to
fill out a questionnaire. An assessment will then be made based on their information.
Based on this assessment, women will be referred to the appropriate clinic or for diagnostic
testing or provided with information regarding available protocol studies.
