The Hereditary Cancer Clinic at Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center offers cancer risk assessment and education to cancer patients and people with a family history of cancer or other cancer risk factors.

Confidentiality and caring are part of everything we do.

Our board-certified genetic counselors team with medical oncologists to provide each patient with information about:

• Risk of inherited cancers
• Ways to reduce the chance of developing cancer
• Ways increase the chance of early detection

Counseling sessions may also include discussions about genetic testing for cancer, which is available through the Hereditary Cancer Clinic.

Clinic staff work closely with other researchers from Duke and cancer centers nation-wide to better understand inherited cancers and to develop new tools for estimating cancer risk.
