Genetic counseling can assure patients and their at-risk family members that they are getting the appropriate cancer treatment, screening, and prevention.
Why do some women develop breast cancer while others do not? Why does a man get diagnosed with colon cancer at age 41 while his brother lives cancer-free well into his 90s? There are many reasons why people get cancer but for some families genetics can play a critical role in determining cancer risk, and genetic counseling can help answer these questions.
