Melanoma Genetic Counselling

Melanoma genetic counseling is a specialized service that helps individuals understand their risk of developing melanoma, a type of skin cancer, due to inherited genetic factors. During counseling, a trained genetic counselor discusses family history, assesses personal risk, and explains genetic testing options. If a genetic mutation linked to melanoma is found, the counselor provides guidance on prevention, early detection strategies, and family implications. The goal is to empower individuals with knowledge to make informed decisions about their health and management options.
