Familial predisposition is considered a risk factor for cancer: a hereditary genetic change is detected in around 5-10% of all cancer patients. Genetic cancer is particularly common in the breast, ovary, prostate, stomach and bowel.
With Precise, Hirslanden offers a complete range of genetic consultations and examinations. We look at the genetic make-up, i.e. the genes, and calculate the personal risks for hereditary diseases. From this we derive individual preventive measures and/or treatments.
Not only for you, but also for your relatives: In patients with a congenital genetic mutation, it can be important to assess the risk in healthy relatives too and, if necessary, to introduce appropriate preventive measures.
If you would like advice or if you have a family history of cancer, please contact us.
