Ive already had cancer. What can I learn from genetic counseling?
People who have already had cancer may learn about steps they can take to detect or reduce the chance of other cancers. For example, a hereditary predisposition to breast cancer can be associated with an increased chance of ovarian cancer. Genetic counseling will also provide information about whether other people in their family have an increased chance of developing cancer. There are steps they can take to detect cancer early or prevent it from occurring.
