Genetic Testing in African Americans (NCT05591131)
Genetic Testing in African Americans Towards Universal Paired Tumor/Germline Genetic Testing in Solid Tumor Patients With Specific Gynecological Malignancies
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a pilot/feasibility study to conduct genetic testing using tumor/blood samples of African American and Caucasian patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer following surgery at AU Health Medical Center. The aim of the pilot/feasibility study is to sequence a panel of cancer genes on paired tumor/blood (germline) samples of patients with ovarian and endometrial tumors at a two-week time point following surgery at AU Medical Center. While paired testing of tumor and blood (germline) provides direct clinical value to patients, investigators propose to study whether investigators can define and overcome such minority barriers among the Georgia Cancer Center (GCC)/AU Health Medical Center (AUMC) patient population.
