A member asked:
I have three blood relatives (brother, father, uncle) who all had different types of cancer. will cancer gene test work for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic test: You should talk to your brother or father or uncle ( if possible-off course) - regarding genetic testing. The one (s) who is/are affected with the cancer- would be the one (s) who should consider to have genetic testing. If any particular genetic mutation is positive then you probably would need to consider about getting the genetic testing for yourself.
