Seek a geneticist: Beyond your usual checkups & attention to general health you can seek out a medical geneticist.They are usually found at children's hospitals or affiliated with medical schools.There are familial cancer syndromes where elaborate genetic tests can find cancer associated markers on your DNA.A full historical review & study can come up with specific risks for certain types/plans for surveillance .
