What this trial is about
This clinical trial examines the integration of cancer genetic testing in various ethnic populations. Studying individuals and families at risk of cancer may help identify cancer genes and other persons at risk. The information from this study may provide an opportunity for cancer risk stratification and individualized screening in these ethnic populations.
