INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This clinical trial studies whether a patient navigation (PN) intervention can be used to improve risk management among women at high risk of breast cancer. Women with a family history of breast cancer have a higher lifetime risk of developing it. Risk management can benefit women at high risk of breast cancer and can include surveillance routines, preventative surgeries, and medications that can dramatically lower the risk of breast cancer and allow early detection. Although risk management can benefit women at high risk of breast cancer, only a small amount actually use it. PN is a healthcare service that is designed to guide a patient through the healthcare system and reduce barriers to timely screening, follow-up, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. The PN intervention in this study is designed to help give women the information and support they need to make choices about their breast cancer risk that they feel good about, which may improve risk management.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a patient navigation program designed to help women who are at high risk of developing breast cancer take steps to manage that risk. A trained navigator guides women through options such as genetic counseling, risk assessment, clinical breast exams, and medications to reduce cancer risk. **You may be eligible if...** - You identify as a woman who is non-Hispanic Black or non-Hispanic white - You are between 18 and 75 years old - You have been identified as potentially high risk for breast cancer through a screening program - You have never been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer - You are in the early stages of decision-making about breast cancer risk management — you either haven't heard of the options or haven't decided whether to pursue them **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer - You believe cancer cannot be prevented and have already received guidance from a specialist - You are already actively pursuing risk management strategies Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
