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

Programs

The Duke Hereditary Cancer Clinic offers counseling, support services, and evaluation for cancer patients and people with cancer risk factors. Services available include:

  • Risk assessment and counseling about ways to improve the chance of finding cancer early and to reduce the chance of developing cancer
  • Genetic testing to determine predisposition to certain types of cancer

Clinic staff work closely with other researchers from the Duke Cancer Institute and cancer centers nationwide to better understand inherited cancers and to develop new tools for estimating cancer risk.

Patients may be eligible to participate in clinical trials that are an important component in furthering our knowledge of inherited risk and effective cancer prevention methods.
