This study aims to involve American Indians (AIs) from Southwestern Tribal Nations in cancer genome sequencing. Researchers want to understand how genetic changes cause cancer, especially since some cancers like liver, kidney, breast, and colon are more common in AIs. This research helps in creating better ways to prevent and treat cancer in the future. A "genome" is all the DNA in our cells, and "sequencing" means examining this DNA closely to find changes that might lead to cancer.
Key Points:
- Participation is for adults (18 years and older) who are either cancer patients or survivors identifying as American Indian.
- Participants will have their tumors sequenced, which involves examining their DNA to look for changes.
- Participants will receive genomic data and access to counseling and clinical resources if needed.
