About the Cancer Genetics Clinic

Since cancer is common, you probably have at least one relative who has experienced cancer at some point in his or her life.

As many as 10% of those diagnosed with some forms of cancer have an “inherited” cancer, which means it was genetically passed down from parents to children. When we know that someone is at risk for an inherited cancer, we can potentially prevent it from happening.

Our genetics physicians are the only doctors in Arkansas specializing in the diagnosis and management of cancer syndromes (the genetic predisposition to develop cancer). Cancer genetics specialists may include genetic counselors and advanced practice nurses with special training in cancer genetics.
