An Outsmart Cancer Consultation is the best way to understand your personal risk for cancer and how you can minimize that risk. If you would like to learn about your risk level, you can take our FREE Cancer Risk Self-Assessment.
Do any of these questions apply to you or someone you know?
Do you have a family history of cancer?
- (Note that not all family history is significant, and not all seemingly innocent family history is benign!)
Have you had precancer lesions?
- Examples
- abnormal mole
- abnormal pap smear
- colon polyps
- Barrett’s esophagus, or
- certain findings on breast or prostate biopsy
Have you been exposed to treatments and/or environmental agents that are associated with cancer risk?
- Examples
- high dose radiation
- certain medications
- some occupational exposures, or
- carcinogens in the home
Are you overweight or do you have lifestyle practices that are associated with cancer?
- Examples
- dependence on nicotine
- dependence on alcohol
- poor dietary habits, or
- lack of exercise
Have you survived cancer and are now in remission?
- (Note that not all family history is significant, and not all seemingly innocent family history is benign!)
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you schedule a consultation without delay.
The Good News…
There are steps that all people can take to minimize their risks. Because we are all complex human beings, with a unique mix of risk factors, the ideal cancer prevention strategy will vary from person to person. In addition, people with identical risk profiles will often make different choices based on their preferences.
In your Outsmart Cancer Consultation, you will discover what your risks actually are, and you will be empowered to make well-informed decisions about how to live your healthiest, happiest, and longest life.
Your consultation will include all of the following:
- A multigenerational family pedigree,
- Analysis of your hereditary cancer risk,
- Analysis of your environmental cancer risk factors (including all exposures — medical, occupational, and lifestyle),
- Summary risk reports for the most common types of cancer,
- Fact sheets for those cancers, and
- A comprehensive personalized cancer screening and prevention prescription, which includes:
- A risk-based cancer screening plan
- Cancer prevention options tailored to your specific scenario, and
- Recommendations for family members who may also have elevated cancer risk.
