About this study
In plain language
This study uses mobile mammogram units to find women who may have a cancer risk passed down in their family. It offers genetic screening and testing to women in Texas who have limited access to care and come to these units for mammograms (breast X-rays).
Identifying women at risk for hereditary cancer potentiates prevention, early detection or personalised treatment against cancer. We using mobile mammography units will provide genetic sceening and testing services to underserved women coming for thier mammograms to these units.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
