Pediatric Cancer Genetic Counselling

Pediatric cancer genetic counseling is a personalized service for families of children diagnosed with cancer. It involves a trained counselor who helps assess the child's medical and family history to identify potential genetic causes of cancer. The counselor explains the significance of genetic testing, discusses risks for the child and siblings, and provides guidance on managing health. This process supports families in understanding the implications of genetic information, helps them make informed decisions, and connects them with resources for emotional and practical support throughout their journey.
