Hereditary Cancer Indicators
Close relatives with some kind of cancer are the more often hereditary cancer indicators that Dr. Arelis Martir-Negron, Medical Geneticist with Miami Cancer Institute sees in her practice.
She affirms when a patient is diagnosed and is referred to a geneticist, the doctor already knows there is a strong family history of cancer.
Jessica Ordonez, Clinical Genetics Manager and Counselor at the same place, adds they also see people who have developed multiple types of cancer throughout their lifetime and this is an indication for genetic counseling.
