The Roanoker - February 2014 - 68

These days, cancer brings up questions - "Could we
have known? Fought earlier?" People with a personal
and/or strong family history of cancer may benefit from
a visit with a certified genetic counselor. Misti Williams, head of the Department of Clinical Genetics for
LewisGale Medical Center explains: "I am trained to
inform people about hereditary cancer syndromes and
discuss the benefits and limitations to genetic testing."
Benefits include knowing true risks of cancer development accompanied by risk-reduction options. Additionally, if a disease causing mutation is identified in
the family, other members may benefit from awareness.
Lastly, genetic testing information may also alter treatment options after cancer is diagnosed. Limitations of
testing include the possibility of finding a change within
a gene that is difficult to interpret and a risk of emotional,
social or financial consequences as a result of testing.
"Genetic counseling is the process where we discuss
those benefits and limitations in detail and how they
apply uniquely to you," says Williams.
