Genetic testing can identify predispositions to certain types of cancer, helping in early detection and prevention. Genetic counseling services, provided by institutions like the National Society of Genetic Counselors, offer:
- Risk assessment: Evaluating the likelihood of developing specific cancers based on genetic markers. - Family planning: Advising on the implications of genetic risks for future generations. - Personalized treatment plans: Customizing treatment based on genetic information to improve outcomes.
