Breast Cancer Programme

Breast Cancer 

Certain types of cancer carry genetic risk. Close follow-up is required especially in people with a family history of breast cancer in young relatives (before the age of 45 years) and in first, second degree relatives. It is important to determine whether there is a genetic predisposition in that family by performing cancer gene screening.
