• Genetic counselors can help you find out if there is an inherited tendency to develop cancer in your family by doing a "cancer genetic risk assessment."

• As part of a cancer genetic counseling session, the genetic counselor will provide you with information about what your family can do to try to find cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
