Cancer risk assessments

Cancer risk assessments evaluate an individual’s likelihood of developing cancer based on factors like genetics, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and medical history. They help identify potential risks so that preventive measures or screening strategies can be tailored accordingly. These assessments may involve analyzing family history, blood tests, or exposure to carcinogens. While they don't predict with certainty if someone will develop cancer, they provide valuable insights into relative risk, enabling informed decisions about health monitoring and lifestyle changes. Ultimately, cancer risk assessments are tools to guide proactive healthcare and early detection efforts.
