It is our job to help mitigate risks and bring comfort to patients.
Genetic tests screen a number of known genes related to hereditary cancers. The goal of every test is to determine a patient’s risk of cancer. This knowledge greatly helps physicians develop the appropriate or preventative treatment plan for early detection. If the results of your test indicate an increased risk for cancer, your doctor may order tests like mammograms, colonoscopy and CT scans for any possible diagnosis and immediate intervention.
