Hereditary Cancer Genetic Counselling

Hereditary cancer genetic counselling helps individuals understand their risk of developing certain cancers that can run in families due to inherited genetic mutations. During the process, a trained counselor assesses your family history and may suggest genetic testing to identify any harmful gene changes. The aim is to provide information on cancer risk, prevention strategies, screening options, and implications for family members. This knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health care and manage their cancer risk more effectively. Overall, it is a supportive service for those concerned about hereditary cancer in their families.
