Overview

This research trial studies how well pre-test genetic education and remote genetic counseling works in communicating tumor profiling results to patients with advanced cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of web-based pre-test genetic education (i.e. before receipt of tumor profile results) to increase knowledge (genetic knowledge and knowledge of test benefits and limitations); to evaluate the efficacy of web-based pre-test genetic education (i.e. before receipt of tumor profile results) to decrease distress (anxiety, depression and cancer specific worry) compared to usual care services in patients undergoing tumor profiling for advanced cancer; to evaluate the uptake of remote genetic counseling; and to evaluate the uptake of germline testing among advanced cancer patients with a potential clinically significant incidental germline mutation identified through tumor profiling in the Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH) trial.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions:
    malignant neoplasm
  • Age: Between 18 Years - 100 Years
  • Gender: All
