Talking openly about
health history with your family is important. Documenting that
information, especially if there is a family history of cancer, can be
life-saving.
There have been more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes discovered so far. Many of the cancers associated with these syndromes can be prevented.
Being aware of a family history of
cancer can provide important information that you and your physician can
use to determine if you’re a candidate for genetic testing, more
frequent screenings, and/or other preventive measures.
