Brief summary

This study seeks to enroll participants who have a diagnosis of a solid tumor cancer and are willing to undergo germline genetic testing for cancer risk. At baseline, patients will be asked to provide 2 types of blood samples: 1 tube for clinical genetic testing and 2 tubes for future research use. A tumor sample from a previous resection or biopsy will also be obtained and sent to the sponsor. The clinician will be asked to provide relevant medical history and demographic information to the sponsor in the form of electronic case report forms.

Detailed description

This study seeks to enroll adult participants who have a diagnosis of a solid tumor cancer and are willing to undergo germline genetic testing for cancer risk using Invitae's Multi-Cancer gene panel. At baseline, patients will be asked to provide 2 types of blood samples: 1 tube for clinical genetic testing and 2 tubes for future research use. A tumor sample from a previous resection or biopsy will also be obtained and sent to the sponsor. The participant's clinician will be asked to provide relevant medical history and demographic information to the sponsor in the form of electronic case report forms at 3 timepoints: 1 month following the results of the participants genetic testing, one year post genetic testing, and 2 years post genetic testing.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTInvitae's 84 gene multi-cancer panel.

Invitae's Multi-Cancer panel analyzes 84 genes associated with hereditary cancers across major organ systems.
