Knowledge that can protect your entire family.
IGNITE-TX is a free research study helping families with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome understand their genetic risk, share results, and access the right support.
A study that helps families understand hereditary cancer risk.
The IGNITE-TX Study is a clinical trial designed to improve genetic testing among families affected by Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome and Lynch syndrome. This research addresses a significant gap in care identified by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
Today, fewer than 50% of at-risk relatives complete cascade genetic testing. This study seeks to understand and improve those rates — protecting more families through early knowledge.
"Being aware of our genetic risks empowers us to make informed decisions"
