At Southern Cancer Center, we offer comprehensive counseling and genetic testing for patients with a significant family and/or personal history of cancer. We don’t just treat cancer, we manage the risk. About 10% of all cancers are hereditary, and there are more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes that are associated with specific gene mutations. Genetic risk evaluation and testing can help patients understand their cancer risk and make informed decisions about lifestyle alterations, medication, screening, surgery and other preventative measures that could reduce their risk and lead to early detection.
