Treatments and Services

Before your visit, please gather information about your family’s cancer history — including the exact types of cancer, ages at diagnosis, and any genetic test results from relatives who have been tested.  

At your appointment, a licensed and board-certified genetic counselor will:

• Review your medical history and detailed family history
• Assess whether a hereditary cancer risk may be present in your family
• Recommend appropriate cancer screening and surveillance strategies
• Discuss the option of genetic testing, including what the results may mean for you and your family
• Review the cost of genetic testing and potential insurance coverage

Our clinic offers telehealth and in-person genetics consultations.  If genetic testing is recommended, your genetic counselor will arrange a blood draw at your convenience.  For certain patients who are not able to visit the BMC campus, other options for collecting your sample may be possible; speak to your genetic counselor for more information.
