Colorectal Cancer Genetic Counselling

Colorectal cancer genetic counseling helps individuals understand the genetic factors related to colorectal cancer. A trained counselor assesses personal and family health histories to identify if there are hereditary conditions that increase cancer risk, such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis. They provide information on genetic testing options, explain the implications of results, and discuss preventive measures and screening recommendations. This process supports informed decision-making about health management and helps individuals understand their risk and the risks to family members.
