Care and Treatment of Hereditary Cancers
About the Cancer Genetics Program
Stanford's Cancer Genetics Program doctors and researchers have been instrumental in developing many of the leading technologies used to understand, diagnose, test and screen for hereditary cancer syndromes. This expertise allows our specialists to offer you personalized plans for managing your cancer risk.
At the Stanford Cancer Genetics Program, our goals are to educate people about familial cancer, provide clear options for medical or surgical interventions, and enhance the quality of life for high risk cancer families.
Counselors in the program can provide assistance and information on all hereditary cancers. Once genetic test results are available the genetic oncology specialists will offer specific options and recommendations for you.
