GENETIC COUNSELING @ University Cancer & Blood Center

CANCER GENETIC EVALUATION, RISK ASSESSMENT & TESTING AT UCBC

Kris Schultz is a Nurse Practitioner who specializes in hereditary cancers at University Cancer & Blood Center. Our clinical oncology social workers work with our medical providers to identify patients who may be at risk for having an inherited cancer syndrome. We provide counseling and education to assist patients in determining whether they are at risk for hereditary cancers, including hereditary breast, ovarian, colon, and other related cancers. We then determine with patients and their families if genetic testing for hereditary cancers is recommended and, if it is, we facilitate referrals to the top genetics laboratories in the country for genetic analysis.
