While living a healthy lifestyle can play a major role in maintaining good health throughout our lifetime, sometimes things we cannot control.....like our genetics, which can also play a significant role in determining whether or not we are more susceptible to serious diseases such as cancer. Today, the science behind genetics testing, communicated to patients through trained genetics counselors, is helping patients and their extended families understand their risks for getting certain cancers based on their family history. In this two part series, Maegan Roberts, a certified genetic counselor with the Familial Cancer Program at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, shares information about the role genetics can play in determining your risk of cancers with potential hereditary origins.
