Genetic testing
Is there any genetic testing in India where I can go and check myself for genes to know which cancers can occur in my body.
Cancer happen due to mutations in gene , which is random and spontaneous. It can happen any time. Moreover merely presence of a predisposing gene does not necessitate CA will happen. Some CA with familial history need genetic investigation, and it always start after doctor consultation.
