Hereditary Cancer Risk Program

Family history or genetic factors can increase your risk for cancer. Experts in the Cancer Center's program work with you to determine your level of risk and to develop strategies to lower your risk or make informed decisions about early detection and prevention. The program includes:

  • In-depth assessment of personal health history
  • Thorough evaluation of cancer history in the family
  • Individual and/or family genetic education and counseling
  • Genetic testing, including testing for mutations in specific genes, when indicated

For more information about genetic risk assessments or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-776-4647.
