Brief summary

This trial examines approaches to identify and care for individuals with inherited cancer syndrome. The purpose of this study is to offer no cost genetic testing to the general public. Researchers hope to learn the value of providing broad, public-wide testing for high risk cancer types (like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Lynch syndromes) instead of only testing people whose families are known to be high risk.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of heritable cancer syndrome testing in two proposed screening populations compared to current guidelines. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Measure adherence to current guidelines for screening and prophylactic intervention of Cohorts B and C compared to Cohort A to show non-inferiority. II. Measure the efficiency of cascade testing (defined as the ratio of family members screened over total possible) for Cohorts B and C compared to Cohort A to show non-inferiority. III. Determine the costs and effectiveness, specifically quality adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with genetic screening models based on Cohorts B and C to estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and show that the costs per QALY are below the acceptable cost effectiveness threshold. OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of saliva samples for genetic testing. If genetic test is positive, patients receive genetic counseling. Patients also complete a survey about cancer prevention, screening, and treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Effectiveness and sustainability of heritable cancer syndrome testing in the two novel testing populationsUp to 5 yearsDetermine the costs and effectiveness, specifically Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) associated with genetic screening models based on Cohorts B and C to estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and show that the costs per QALY are below the acceptable cost effectiveness threshold.
Adherence to standard of care for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndromesUp to 5 yearsFor Lynch syndrome we identify compliance as colonoscopy in past two years and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO ) after child-bearing age. For HBOC, compliance is defined as breast imaging in past year or risk reducing surgery at any point in women.
Merged risk reduction strategies of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) or bilateral mastectomy and imagingUp to 5 yearsThe merged risk reduction strategies of BSO or bilateral mastectomy and the imaging are treated as evidence of risk reducing behavior.
Cascade screening rate among Lynch or HBOC positive carriersUp to 5 yearsWill conduct negative binomial regression model and non-inferiority will be determined by rate ratio and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
