Around 10-15% of cancers may be due to a genetic change passed down through families. This is called “hereditary cancer” and this can increase the chance of developing cancers at a younger age or the chance of developing more than one type of cancer.
Cancer genetic testing helps you understand whether cancer in your personal and/or family history may be due to an inherited genetic change.
Understanding this risk can provide clarity and help guide decisions about screening, prevention, and sometimes treatment.
If genetic testing is appropriate, this will be discussed with you during your consultation
You will only proceed with testing if you are comfortable and give your consent.
The cost of your consultation will be applied towards the total cost of testing should you choose to proceed.
Our process is simple, supportive, and tailored to you. From your initial consultation through to results, we guide you every step of the way.
Choose a suitable time and complete a short clinical intake and consent form
A qualified genetic counsellor will review your personal and family history and discuss your situation in detail. If appropriate, testing options will be explained, including benefits, limitations, and possible outcomes. All counselling sessions will be followed up with a detail summary letter.
Genetic testing will be arranged, as appropriate, after providing informed consent.
Your genetic results will be reviewed by a qualified genetic counsellor. These will be delivered to you as agreed in the counselling session. If necessary, a follow-up call to discuss results in more detail can be arranged.
