The Cancer Risk Program is a comprehensive genetic counseling service for families with a history of cancer. It is the largest and most comprehensive genetic testing center for cancer in Northern California.
Genetic counselors assess personal and family history, provide education and counseling and, when appropriate, offer genetic testing for cancer predisposition genes.
Based on family history, other cancer risk factors and genetic testing results, counselors and doctors provide an individualized risk management program for each patient, which includes recommendations for cancer screening and options for preventive measures.
For more information on the Program, please see FAQ: Cancer Risk Program.
Depending on your health insurance, you may need a referral from a primary care doctor.
