Genetic Counselors
Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate
degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling.
Genetic counselors work as members of a health care team, providing information
and support to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited
conditions. They identify families at risk, investigate the problem present
in the family, interpret information about the disorder, analyze inheritance
patterns and risks of recurrence, and review available options with the
family.
Genetic testing is available for families with a strong family history
of certain types of cancer. During your appointment, genetic testing options
that may be available for you or your family will be discussed.
