Genetic consultations are with a genetic counselor and a physician specializing in cancer genetics. The counselor and physician will begin by reviewing the information provided about family and medical history. This can help determine the risk of inherited cancers and point to which types of cancer are a concern.

The more information you can bring to your appointment with a genetic counselor, the better we can determine the best course for you. There are many genes linked to cancer risk. Looking at the patterns in your personal history and your family history helps us figure out whether any genetic tests make sense and which ones will be most helpful.
Genetics play a role in all cancers, including breast, ovarian, adrenal, thyroid, colon, melanoma, pancreas, and most rare cancers. Contact us: 734-647-8902
The list of potential side effects of cancer treatments can often sound worse than the disease. Many of these side-effects are immediate and life altering, and may cause your partner to feel unwell. These immediate side-effects may cause fear and anxiety. Long term side effects are often not recognized or discussed at the time of diagnosis.
