INTERogating Cancer for Etiology, Prevention and Therapy Navigation
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
This study is being done to identify markers and causes of cancer by analyzing patient's DNA (i.e., genetic material), RNA, plasma, tissues, or other samples that could be informative for patients with cancer. Cancer genetic testing is a series of tests that finds specific changes in cancer cells and normal cells in the body. Researchers may request to access these data as they explore how to better prevent, screen, or treat cancer. This study is also being done to create a biobank (library) of samples and information to learn more about treating cancer. Discovery of genetic variants in patients with cancer could result in opportunities for cancer prevention, earlier diagnosis or better therapy for cancer.

Pan-genomic Testing
Participants will be scheduled to review the study specifics, review consent and gather medical information. Once consented, samples will be collected. When the samples are received by Exact Sciences, DNA and RNA will be extracted, and sequencing will be performed. Following pan-genomic testing, participants will receive the full report with results from their care team and results will also be added to the patient's portal. If a germline finding is identified (positive pathogenic variant) the participant will also be referred for a genetic counselor visit. All results from the germline hereditary test will be reviewed by a certified genetic counselor in addition to a review of their pedigree. To help with review of any genetic research findings, the study team may request to obtain genomic data from previous genetic testing (clinical or research based).
