Summary

RATIONALE: The use of a CD-ROM may help patients with colorectal cancer or a family history of colorectal cancer make informed decisions about undergoing microsatellite instability (MSI) testing. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying an educational CD-ROM to see how well it works compared with standard informed consent to assist decision-making about MSI testing in patients with colorectal cancer or a family history of colorectal cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Diagnosis of CRC in ≥ 2 first-degree or second-degree relatives with HNPCC-related tumor and ≥ 1 cancer diagnosed at < 50 years of age
  • Diagnosis of CRC in ≥ 2 first- or second-degree relatives with HNPCC-related tumors, regardless of age
  • Diagnosis of CRC with pathologic features suggestive of microsatellite instability (MSI) and < 60 years of age
  • Patients with CRC meeting the Amsterdam criteria defined below are ineligible:
  • Three relatives with CRC with 1 being a first-degree relative of the other 2
