The more you know, the better you can prevent cancer...
Generations Radiotherapy & Oncology PC is pleased to partner with Myriad Genetics to offer our patients testing for genetic susceptibility to certain cancers. In essence, this testing helps improve our answers to questions of whether or not cancer in one individual places his or her children at higher risk for developing cancer. There are limitations to such testing, as we have do not currently have the ability to assess the genetic (or hereditary) risk of all cancer patients. Nonetheless, for those who qualify, the information can be invaluable. Here, we offer a "Hereditary Cancer Quiz," which can help determine whether or not genetic testing is applicable to your situation.
