The rapid progress in the knowledge of the genetic basis of cancer and in the development of genetic tests allows us to identify individuals and families who have an higher risk of developing cancer.
This identification makes it possible to assess someone’s individual risk of suffering from an oncology illness. From this starting point the best prevention strategies and the tests of early diagnostic for each case are recommended.
This way, the patient is closely monitored, which allows us, in case cancer appears, to fight it from the very first stages.
