Brief Summary
This is a pilot/feasibility study to conduct genetic testing using tumor/blood samples of African American and Caucasian patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer following surgery at AU Health Medical Center. The aim of the pilot/feasibility study is to sequence a panel of cancer genes on paired tumor/blood (germline) samples of patients with ovarian and endometrial tumors at a two-week time point following surgery at AU Medical Center. While paired testing of tumor and blood (germline) provides direct clinical value to patients, investigators propose to study whether investigators can define and overcome such minority barriers among the Georgia Cancer Center (GCC)/AU Health Medical Center (AUMC) patient population.

Study Time and Events Table
EXPERIMENTALStudy Procedures are as followed: On Day 1 Surgery/biopsy will be performed to obtain ovarian and endometrial samples. Day 14 will include Informed consent, demographics collection and Blood samples will be obtained. Subjects will complete a survey about knowledge of, attitudes towards, and awareness of genetic testing use over 30 minutes on Day 14. Days 14-21 Tumor/blood DNA preparation. On Day 42 Genetic test results will be released and uploaded in the EMR. If the genetic testing is positive, genetic counseling will be scheduled.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years of age.
- New diagnosis of ovarian, endometrial, fallopian, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.
- Diagnostic procedure performed at AU Health Medical Center.
- Adequate tissue is available for the tumor testing component (e.g., cytology and FNA samples are typically not adequate, whereas core biopsies and open biopsies usually are adequate.
- Consent at first post-biopsy outpatient clinic visit (typically about 2 weeks).
- Ability to provide informed consent in English.
