PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients seeking care at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center at St. Vincent's Riverside in Jacksonville, Florida.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Perform a chart review to assess the impact of genetic testing as part of standard of oncology care:
Ia. Determine differences in germline mutation detection in these patients as compared to traditional guideline (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN]) based approach for genetic evaluation.
Ib. Determine the percentage of relatives of mutation positive probands undergoing family variant testing within a 3 month window of return of testing results.
Ic. Assess patient experience and barriers to care with a genetic service line via survey measures.
Id. Develop a biorepository of samples (blood) from cancer patients participating in this protocol.
OUTLINE:
Patients watch a pre-recorded genetic counseling video and those who consent to genetic testing undergo collection of blood samples. Patients also complete surveys over 5-15 minutes each prior to receiving their genetic test results and following the receipt of genetic test results.

Patients watch a pre-recorded genetic counseling video and those who consent to genetic testing undergo collection of blood samples. Patients also complete surveys over 5-15 minutes each prior to receiving their genetic test results and following the receipt of genetic test results.

- Prevalence of pathogenic germline mutations [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Will be assessed by each cancer site, age (< 60 years old versus [vs.] >= 60 years old), and stage (early vs. advanced) via descriptive statistics.
- Difference between prevalence of positive pathogenic germline mutations [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Will be assessed by cancer sites, age of diagnosis, and stage of diagnosis using logistic regression analysis across all cancer site groups, and pairwise post-hoc analyses using Tukey's correction for multiple comparisons across pairs of cancer sites, and chi-square tests of differences between age and stage groups.
- Rate of mutation detection [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Will be compared via genetic testing to clinical practice guidelines of traditional family history criteria within cancer site, age, and stage using logistic regression and pairwise post-hoc analyses as needed.
- Incidence rate of germline pathogenic genetic mutations in cancer patients seen at St Vincent's and uptake rate of cascade testing in families [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Assessed using logistic regression
- Incidence rate of germline pathogenic genetic mutations in cancer patients seen at St Vincent's and uptake rate of cascade testing in families [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Assessed using pairwise post-hoc analyses
- Differences in survey responses between patient groups [ Time Frame: Up to 3 months ]Patients will be grouped by genetic test result (positive vs. negative), age (< 60 years old vs. >= 60 years old), stage (early vs. advanced), and over time (enrollment vs. after test results are received).
