Study Details

Brief summary:

Genomic research has shown that a portion of leiomyosarcomas can be attributed to an underlying cancer predisposition syndrome. However, the optimal approach for incorporating germline testing into the care of these patients. This study is assessing the beliefs about the heritability of leiomyosarcoma and other cancer risks, and attitudes towards germline testing among leiomyosarcoma patients.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

LMS Probands

LMS Probands are the first person in a family to be known to have a germline predisposition gene mutation in LMS. A cohort of patients with a histologically confirmed leiomyosarcoma diagnosis will be prospectively recruited from two SPORE prospective biomarker studies.

Relative of LMS Probands

Relatives to LMS probands will be enrolled in this cohort. Approximately 4 family members per proband will be recruited.

Primary outcome measure

  • Beliefs about the heritability of Leiomyosarcoma [ Time Frame: up to 1 day from study enrollment ]
