Genetic Counselling and Screening

In medical oncology, genetic screening involves testing for specific genetic mutations or alterations that may predispose individuals to certain types of cancer. This screening can help identify individuals at higher risk of developing cancer, allowing for early detection, targeted prevention strategies, and personalized treatment approaches. Genetic screening in oncology plays a crucial role in assessing familial cancer risk, guiding cancer prevention efforts, and informing treatment decisions for patients with hereditary cancer syndromes.
