Cancer genetics
The Cancer Genetics Unit offers services to patients of The Royal Marsden and their families who are concerned about a risk of inherited cancer.
Our services include, familial cancer risk assessment, diagnostic genetic testing (testing of one or more genes known to associated with cancer predisposition), predictive genetic testing (testing for a specific mutation in a gene, already identified within a family), advice and referral for cancer screening, and discussion of cancer risk-reducing management options.
Also see our collection of videos about cancer genetics.
