In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

PROTECT-C is a research study offering genetic testing to people to see whether they have a genetic change that increases their risk of breast, ovary, bowel, and/or womb cancer. This is regardless of whether they or their families have had cancer. Breast, ovary, bowel, and womb cancers make up half of all cancers in women. Around 15-20% (15 to 20 in 100 cases) of ovary and 3-4% (3 to 4 in 100 cases) of breast, womb, and bowel cancers are linked to cancer genes and may be prevented. People with a genetic change that puts them at increased risk of any of these cancers have ways to help them manage their risk through the NHS. This may include screening to find cancers earlier when they are easier to treat, and surgery or medication to prevent cancers from developing. This can save lives. Currently, genetic testing is only available on the NHS to people who meet certain criteria. For examp
