Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my physician refer me to the Cancer Genetics Clinic?

Your doctor recognized some features about your personal and/or family history which raised concern about inherited risk factors for cancer. It is important to determine if you or your family members have genetic risk factors in order to help determine the best way to manage your health care.

Insurance and Privacy

Insurance policies vary as to whether the cost of genetic counseling or genetic testing is covered. The cost for genetic testing can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. You may wish to contact your insurance company to find out their policies.

Your Appointment with the Cancer Genetics Clinic

Genetic consultations are with a genetic counselor and a physician specializing in cancer genetics. The counselor and physician will begin by reviewing the information provided about family and medical history. This can help determine the risk of inherited cancers and point to which types of cancer are a concern.
