Cancer Susceptibility Program

What we Provide

Cancer predisposition syndromes tend to run in families. Sometimes family members are aware, and other times they are not. Our genetic counselors are experts at educating families about the implications of cancer predisposition syndromes on various members of the family, including parents and siblings, as well as any future children of individuals with these syndromes.

• Genetics Counseling: We educate families on potential risks associated with certain cancer predisposition syndromes and options for prevention, early detection and treatment.
• Genetic Testing: We perform genetic testing for a number of cancer susceptibilities in clinically appropriate situations. 
• Screening: Our team manages a schedule of screenings appropriate for each cancer predisposition syndrome – ultrasounds, MRIs, blood tests, etc. – to monitor for early detection of tumors. 
• Coordination of Care: We coordinate care with other specialists as needed, including gastroenterologists, ophthalmologists, and surgeons.
