Cancer risk assessment

Understand risk before choosing the next step.

Cancer-risk assessment is a structured conversation about the information relevant to your risk and the questions it raises. It does not diagnose cancer or predict your future with certainty.

Areas the assessment may consider

Your history

Personal cancer history and relevant medical history.

Your family

Cancer types and ages at diagnosis in relatives, where known.

Earlier results

Previously identified hereditary findings or a prior genetic test report.

Past screening

Past screening and relevant diagnostic investigations.

Your concerns

The question you want addressed.

Possible outcomes

  • A clearer summary of the information and factors considered.
  • Discussion of whether existing screening is appropriate, whether more assessment may merit discussion, or whether a different route is needed.
  • Referral to genetic counselling or a qualified clinician where appropriate.
  • An honest explanation of uncertainty and of what the assessment cannot establish.

Family history is shared. So are the conversations about it.

A risk assessment can help a family decide calmly what, if anything, to do next.
