Empowering families through genetics and early prevention.
The Hereditary Cancer Clinic focuses on identifying individuals and families at increased risk of cancer due to inherited genetic factors. While most cancers occur sporadically, approximately 8–10% are hereditary.
Our clinic offers thorough risk assessment, genetic counselling, and tailored prevention strategies to assist patients and their families in lowering cancer risk and supporting early detection.
