Understanding
Hereditary Cancer
Comprehensive evaluation for individuals and families at risk of hereditary cancers. Approximately 8–10% of cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations.
Clinical Overview
The Hereditary Cancer Clinic focuses on identifying individuals and families at increased risk of cancer due to inherited genetic factors.
Approximately 8–10% of cancers are hereditary, caused by gene mutations passed through families. In regions with high consanguinity, understanding these patterns is vital for prevention.
We evaluate syndromes including Hereditary Breast & Ovarian Cancer (HBOC), Lynch Syndrome, Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Retinoblastoma, and Pediatric hereditary cancers.
Our approach integrates early detection, tailored prevention strategies, and precision oncology to reduce the overall cancer burden for families.
