Genetic Counseling and Cancer

Bronson Riley
​Board-certified genetic counselor

Genetic Counseling is the process of helping patients understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of the genetic contributions to cancer. This is done by looking at and interpreting family and medical histories to assess the chance of cancer or any disease occurring or recurring and educating the patient about inheritance, testing, management, prevention, resources and research. Counseling assists in promoting informed choices and to help the patient adjust to the risk or condition.
