Approximately 5–10% of all cancers are hereditary — caused by genetic mutations passed down through families. If you have a parent, sibling, or child who has had cancer, you may carry one of these mutations without knowing it.
Genetic counselling and testing does not diagnose cancer. It reveals risk — and risk is actionable. Knowing your genetic profile allows you to screen earlier, make informed prevention choices, protect your children with timely information, and approach your health with confidence rather than fear.
At Cancer Conscious Clinics, genetic counselling is one of our founding services — led by specialists trained in hereditary cancer syndromes and delivered with the sensitivity and clarity this deeply personal service demands.
A complete pathway from your first conversation to a personalised prevention plan — every step guided by a specialist counsellor with deep expertise in hereditary cancer syndromes.
Hereditary Risk Consultation A one-on-one session reviewing your medical history and constructing a three-generation cancer pedigree in plain language.
The most studied hereditary cancer genes, facilitated through accredited labs with dedicated post-test counselling.
Beyond BRCA — Lynch Syndrome, HBOC, FAP and comprehensive panels guided by your family history.
Coordinated counselling and testing for first-degree relatives once a mutation has been identified.
Six pillars of care, sequenced into one continuous relationship — from family pedigree to personalised prevention.
A comprehensive one-on-one session with our genetic counsellor reviewing your personal medical history and constructing a three-generation family cancer pedigree — explained in plain, clear language.
We construct a detailed three-generation cancer pedigree mapping every known cancer diagnosis across your family to identify inherited patterns and determine which relatives should be counselled or tested.
After testing, every patient receives a written Prevention Roadmap specifying recommended screening protocols, lifestyle interventions, risk-reducing options and a calibrated follow-up schedule.
When a hereditary mutation is identified, first-degree relatives are at potential risk. We provide cascade testing guidance as part of a coordinated family programme.
Every patient leaves with clarity — a written Prevention Roadmap tailored to their genetic profile, and a team they can return to for life.
The questions our patients ask most often, answered honestly.
For germline (hereditary) genetic testing, yes — a simple blood draw or saliva sample. Results are typically available in 3–4 weeks and are always reviewed with you in a dedicated follow-up session, never shared by email or phone without proper counselling.
A positive result means you carry a mutation that elevates your cancer risk — it does not mean you will develop cancer. Many carriers live cancer-free with appropriate surveillance and prevention.
Possibly. Some mutations arise spontaneously (de novo). Family history is often incomplete too. If you have personal uncertainty about cancer risk, counselling is always worthwhile.
We assess all major hereditary cancer syndromes, including BRCA-related cancers, Lynch Syndrome, Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, Cowden Syndrome and Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer.
Absolutely confidential. Reports are released only to you. We do not share results with employers, insurers or family members without your written consent.
