4. Cancer Genetic Counselling

Cancer genetic counseling involves discussing the risk of hereditary cancers and their implications. A trained counselor helps families understand their genetic predisposition to certain cancers, like breast or colon cancer, based on family history. They provide insights into genetic testing options, the potential results, and what these mean for an individual’s health and family planning. This counseling supports informed decisions about preventive measures and early detection, aiming to empower individuals with knowledge while addressing any emotional concerns they may have about their genetic risks.
