Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Genetics and Prevention offers a unique team approach to genetic testing and cancer risk management. We provide an initial cancer risk evaluation with an experienced genetic counselor and physician to
discuss your personal and family history. Our team is available to talk with you and your family members. One goal of this evaluation is to help you learn what steps you can take to lower your cancer risk.
