Prostate Cancer Genetic Counselling

Prostate cancer genetic counseling involves meeting with a trained counselor to discuss your family history and personal risk for prostate cancer. The counselor helps you understand if genetic testing is appropriate, which can identify specific gene mutations linked to the disease. This information can guide your healthcare decisions, like increased screening or preventive measures. The counselor also provides support and resources, helping you navigate the emotional and practical aspects of a potential diagnosis. Overall, it’s about empowering you with knowledge to make informed choices regarding your health.
