Do you have an alteration in a breast cancer gene?

You could be part of a solution for future generations. Researchers at City of Hope are seeking participants for a research study of breast and ovarian cancer. This research is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Who is eligible to participate?
Any woman over the age of 18 who has tested positive for a BRCA1 or BRCA2 alteration that increases their risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer is eligible to participate regardless of whether or not she has been diagnosed with any type of cancer. 

What do I have to do if I participate?
Participants will be asked to donate a sample of blood and complete a health and family history questionnaire. There is no cost to participate. Participants will be compensated $25 for their time to complete the questionnaire and provide a blood sample.

Who do I call if I am interested in participating or if I have questions?
