CGN Research Studies
The Cancer Genetics Network (CGN) has a variety of pilot studies under
way. A pilot study is a first study to examine a new method, idea, or
treatment. It is undertaken with the expectation that it will yield findings
that merit further investigation in a larger study.
Participants in these studies are recruited from the CGN membership and
sometimes other groups. Members are volunteers who are interested in learning
about cancer genetics and consider participating in studies on a case-by-case
basis.
