Some cancers, such as breast, ovarian, or colon cancer, occur more often in certain families. A significant family history, or a diagnosis received before age 50 in a relative, can be a sign that it&#8217;s worth exploring the question.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, the genetic counsellor will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review the history of cancer in your family with you<\/li>\n<li>Assess whether genetic testing is relevant to your situation<\/li>\n<li>Explain the benefits and limitations of genetic screening<\/li>\n<li>Answer your questions and help you decide whether you want to proceed with a test<\/li>\n<li>Refer you, if necessary, to the appropriate tests or resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Genetic counselling does not replace genetic testing. Rather, it helps determine whether testing is appropriate and prepares you to understand its implications, both before and after the results.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"width:100%\"><strong>What the research shows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Several studies on genetic cancer screening show that genetic counselling provides concrete health benefits, whether the results of any test are positive or negative. These studies indicate in particular that genetic counselling can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Help you better understand your personal and family cancer risk<\/li>\n<li>Reduce anxiety related to uncertainty<\/li>\n<li>Support informed health decision-making<\/li>\n<li>Facilitate earlier detection, at a stage when treatments are often more effective<\/li>\n<li>Guide other family members in their own health decisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These findings support the importance of professional guidance before undergoing genetic testing, rather than relying solely on direct-to-consumer services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"width:100%\">\n<h3 style=\"width:100%\"><strong>Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><strong>Initial consultation<\/strong>: $399<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow-up visit<\/strong>: $199<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family member consultation<\/strong>: $349<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"width:100%\">\n<h3 style=\"width:100%\"><strong>Consultation options<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><strong>Teleconsultation: <\/strong> offered remotely, for your convenience<\/li>\n<li><strong>In person:<\/strong> available Mondays and Fridays at our Montreal clinic<\/li>\n<li><strong>No medical referral <\/strong>is required to book an appointment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"width:100%\"><strong>Who conducts the consultations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Consultations are offered by a genetic counsellor holding a master&#8217;s degree in genetic counselling.
