Web-Based Family Outreach Program for Cancer Prevention in High-Risk Families

This trial develops a patient-driven self-navigated web-based family outreach program for cancer prevention in high-risk families. Creating the family outreach program may help to improve the way in which genetic test results are communicated within families and increase the number of at-risk relatives who become aware of their risks.

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals who have been diagnosed with a hereditary cancer-causing mutation. Individuals may be identified through clinical testing as patients at MD Anderson or patients whose mutation was identified at an outside institution who contact the registry * Individuals that have clinical suspicion for syndromic cancer susceptibility, but in whom mutational testing has been nondiagnostic (depending on condition in question, nondiagnostic testing may be as little as 10%, as in familial adenomatous polyposis \[FAP\], or as high as 70% in suspected hereditary diffuse gastric cancer or HDGC) * At-risk family members of individuals with a cancer causing mutation or of individuals with nondiagnostic testing notwithstanding presence of likely syndromic cancer. Such patients will in most cases not be MD Anderson patients. Note: The enrollment, consenting, and evaluation process anticipates and addresses this. Exclusion Criteria: * Index patients who test negative for a cancer causing mutation, except for those agreeing to provide family history (FH) that is informative for at-risk individuals when no other source of such information is available * Patients who are unwilling or are unable to provide informed consent
