Genetic counseling in Michigan

If pancreatic cancer runs in your family, start here.

Genetic testing identifies inherited risk before symptoms appear. It lets you act early, gives your doctors a more targeted approach, and tells your relatives something they can use.

It changes your treatment

Inherited mutations such as BRCA1/2 and PALB2 can make you eligible for PARP inhibitors and specific clinical trials. Guidelines now recommend testing for every pancreatic cancer patient.

It changes your family's screening

A result gives first-degree relatives real information about their own risk — and access to surveillance programs that can catch disease earlier.

It is a conversation, not just a test

A certified counselor reads your family history, explains what a result would and would not mean, and helps you decide what to do with it.
