Read our Ovarian Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is designed to identify women in underserved areas of Texas who may carry inherited genetic changes that increase their risk for breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer. You would provide a saliva sample for genetic testing and complete a short questionnaire about your family and personal health history. The goal is to connect women at risk with genetic counseling and testing so they can take steps to protect their health.
Many women in underserved communities don't have easy access to genetic screening and counseling, even though they may be at high risk for hereditary cancers. This study uses mobile mammography units that already visit these areas to offer genetic testing and education, making it easier for women to get answers about their cancer risk.

You would complete a brief screening form about your health history and family background, then provide a saliva sample using a simple kit that you can mail back to the testing lab. The study team will also share educational materials with you about hereditary cancers. There are no invasive procedures — just a questionnaire and a saliva sample collection.
