Genetic counseling

The genetic outpatient clinic at the Oncology Centre is intended for people with suspected or diagnosed cancer diseases.

After a medical consultation and drafting of a detailed genetic lineage, it is possible to qualify for a blood test, in order to isolate the gene responsible for the formation of cancer.

The basis for genetic testing is the drafting of the so-called the genetic lineage of the patient. It is on this basis that the qualification for blood tests is carried out in order to isolate the gene co-responsible for the formation of cancer. Persons with a diagnosed mutation, their families and other people with a compromised lineage remain under oncological and genetic care with the possibility of periodic preventive examinations.

The most frequently inherited are the neoplasms of:

• Breasts
• Ovary
• Large intestine
• Prostate
• Thyroid gland
• Melanoma

Thanks to genetic tests revealing cancer susceptibility, it is possible to prevent the disease or to detect it very early.
