"Genes don't define us, but they can guide our choices."
A study that helps families understand hereditary cancer risk.
The IGNITE-TX Study is a clinical trial advancing genetic testing for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome and Lynch syndrome, addressing a significant gap highlighted by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
Current cascade genetic testing among relatives stands at fewer than 50%. This study aims to understand and improve those rates — protecting more families through early knowledge.
"Being aware of our genetic risks empowers us to make informed decisions"
