Prior to Your Appointment

We will email you a link to CancerGene Connect. This is an online questionnaire that will help us assess you and your family's risk of cancer. Please fill out and submit the CancerGene Connect questionnaire at least one day prior to your appointment.

Helpful information to gather for CancerGene Connect and bring with you to your appointment:

1. A copy of your previous genetic testing results.

2. If you have had cancer/tumors/polyps, a copy of each pathology report.

3. A family history list of first-, second-, and third-degree relatives. This includes family members' ages or ages at death, who has had cancer/tumors and the types, and the ages at each diagnosis. If you do not know exact ages, approximate ages (i.e. 30s, 50s, 80s) are fine.

4. If any relatives have had genetic testing, a copy of their results. If you cannot get a copy, try to get as much information about their testing as possible (i.e. date tested, lab name, number of genes tested, which gene is positive/variant, mutation codes, etc.).

5. A copy of your insurance card, just in case.

***DISCLAIMER: Genetic Counselors do not practice medicine. It is up to you, the patient, to speak with your physician(s) to implement the screening/management recommendations made during your genetic counseling session(s). You will be provided with copies of your genetic testing results, genetic counseling notes, and family tree so that you can show them to your physician(s) for your future care.
