Where do i go to get colorectal cancer gene test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with your MD: Some evaluation /analysis can be done on the cancer tissue . Your oncologist can ask the pathologist to test it. Then, your oncologist can refer you to a genetician /genetic counsellour to start with -whom then will order the necessary genetic test based on your personal/family history. Discuss in detail with your oncologist.
