Institut Claudius Regaud

Oncogenetics consultation

Cancer is not hereditary. Members of the same family can however be at a higher risk of contracting cancer if certain genes become mutated. Only 5% of cancers are related to genetic factors. The Institute recommends oncogenetics consultations for patients with breast, ovarian or colorectal cancer. A study of a patient's family tree enables a doctor to ascertain whether their family is a high risk family or not. If they are considered a high risk family, the genetic oncologist will recommend carrying out a molecular analysis to see if the patient is the carrier of a mutated gene related to their disease. A customised monitoring program will be implemented depending on the results.
