Has anyone had any experience of these? Does any one know if they will do them individually for family members without having tissue samples from the cancer sufferer? How do you find out if a family member's cancer had genetic cause?
Hi Ma78 and it’s an interesting question you ask.
From my limited knowledge there are some genetic tests for some types of cancers but that’s as much as I know
Can I suggest you put your question to our Can re Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
