Why should I attend a genetic clinic?

The risk clinic/genetic clinic provides:

• Help with any doubts or fears you might be experiencing concerning your familial cancer;
• A detailed analysis of your family’s specific risk;
• Advice and genetic testing if there is suspicion of a hereditary/familial mutation;
• Advice on measures to help prevent the disease, both surveillance and prophylaxis, suited to your personal risk;
• Means for detection and diagnosis of the disease;
• Support for discussing the subject with relatives, partners and friends;
• Advice on how better manage the future (professional choices, maternity, etc.);
• Extension of the support program, including risk appointment, to close relatives;
• Screening for non-familial (or non-hereditary) cancers
