What is the Northwest Cancer Genetics Network Registry?
The Northwest Cancer Genetics Network (NWCGN) Registry, funded by the National Cancer Institute, is a resource to help researchers answer important questions about inherited risks for cancer. Currently, no new participants are being recruited, but follow-up information is being collected from previously-recruited participants at all levels of risk from across the Northwest. This information is combined with information from other centers to build a national registry that scientists are able to use for research on cancer.
