Genetic Testing and Counseling for Cancer Risk

Take charge of your health with genetic testing and a hereditary cancer risk assessment. Genetic counseling helps patients and families with a history of cancer better understand and manage their risk for developing cancer. 

Why Choose Sutter?

Our trusted genetic counselors help you understand the practical, medical and emotional sides of genetic testing. Learning your genetic information may reveal personal cancer risks and give you and your care team options to prevent cancer or catch it earlier when it's more treatable.

If your personal and family history indicates a higher-than-normal cancer risk, genetic testing can reveal known gene mutations affecting your health. And if you’re currently living with cancer, genetic testing can help inform the best treatment options for you.
