Over the past decade, scientists have discovered specific inherited factors, or genes, that can contribute to the development of some forms of breast, ovarian, colorectal, and other types of cancer. The Clinical Genetics Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering offers hereditary cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, and genetic testing by specially trained genetic counselors and physicians to people who are concerned about their personal and/or family history of cancer. This information may be helpful when making medical decisions about how to manage your risk for cancer.
