Cancer Genetics

The Cancer Risk Assessment and Counseling Program at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey is located at 195 Little Albany Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Cancer Risk Assessment and Counseling is performed as part of the "high-risk" clinic, and appointments are offered on alternating Tuesdays. Please give us a call at 732-235-7110 to schedule an appointment. You may also contact us by e-mail. To find out more information about our program, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, or to get directions to the Cancer Institute, click here.

We encourage concerned individuals to discuss their personal and/or family history of cancer with their primary care physicians. Primary care doctors often know the most about you and your family history, and may be in the best position to determine if you could benefit from genetic counseling.
