Familial Cancer Genetic Counselling

Familial Cancer Genetic Counselling is a process that helps individuals and families understand their risk of inherited cancers. When certain cancers run in families, genetic counselling assists in identifying whether specific gene mutations could increase that risk. A trained genetic counselor assesses family history, discusses genetic testing options, interprets results, and provides support in decision-making. This helps individuals make informed choices about surveillance, preventive measures, and treatment options, empowering them to manage their health proactively.
