Overview
About 5–10% of cancers are driven by inherited gene changes such as BRCA1/2 (breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreas) and Lynch syndrome (colon, uterine). Identifying carriers guides both treatment (like PARP inhibitors) and screening for at-risk relatives.
Dr. Ravi Jaiswal offers structured genetic counselling — assessing family history, ordering appropriate germline testing, explaining results in plain language and building a screening / risk-reduction plan.
How we treat it
- Detailed family-history and risk assessment
- Germline BRCA1/2 and multi-gene panel testing
