CANCER GENETICS REGISTRY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 多年来，人们一直注意到癌症的遗传性。5%到10%的癌症是由遗传性癌症综合征引起的。在鉴定与特定遗传性癌症综合征相关的基因改变方面取得了进展。然而，许多癌症的最佳筛查和预防措施尚未确定，许多癌症的遗传成分仍未确定。这项研究项目正在研究癌症的遗传基础。这项研究的目标是确定与癌症风险和发展相关的基因改变，并利用这些信息改进对有癌症风险的个人和家庭的识别、筛查和管理。参与者将被要求提供关于他们个人和家庭病史信息的信息，并提供用于癌症遗传学研究的血液和肿瘤组织样本。将定期与参与者联系，更新他们的病史和家族史信息，并要求他们与家人分享关于登记册的信息。这项研究的个别结果不能报告，但可以通知参与者总体研究结果。这项研究没有计划的结束日期。研究人员计划继续尽可能长时间地识别和跟踪家庭。不过，参与者可以随时选择退出。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The hereditary nature of cancer has been noted for many years. Between five to ten percent of cancers are due to hereditary cancer syndromes. Developments have been made in the identification of genetic alterations associated with specific hereditary cancer syndromes. However, for many cancers optimal screening and preventive measures have not yet been determined, and the hereditary components of many cancers remain unidentified. This research project is studying the genetic basis of cancer. The goals of this research are to identify genetic alterations associated with cancer risk and development, and to use this information to improve the identification, screening, and management of individuals and families at-risk for cancer. Participants will be asked to provide information about their personal and family medical history information and to give samples of blood and tumor tissue to be used for cancer genetics research. Participants will be contacted periodically to update their medical and family history information, and they will be asked to share information about the registry with family members. Individual results from this research cannot be reported, but participants can be notified of overall study findings. There is no planned end date for this study. The researchers plan to continue to identify and follow families for as long as possible. However, participants can chose to withdraw at any time.'
