Critical Using genetic testing, a variety of familial or hereditary malignancies with a high lifetime risk can be discovered. As public knowledge rises, it is expected that more people will choose to undergo this testing. Furthermore, it is predicted that this demographic will have a wide range of emotional reactions to genetic testing and the results. This testing and counseling procedure includes several parts, including initial pre-test counseling to discuss risks and benefits, as well as informed consent.

Cancer is a collection of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled development and spread of abnormal cells that kills one out of every seven people on the planet. It is the third biggest cause of death in low- and middle-income nations, after cardiovascular disorders, viral diseases, and parasitic diseases. Most cancer cases are now recognized to be more susceptible in people who have a family history of the disease.

Inherited genetic mutations are responsible for roughly five per cent to ten per cent of all malignancies. Several hereditary cancer syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome related to BRCA1/2 mutations, and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, has been described in the last decade.

Furthermore, observational examinations recommend that more elevated levels of activity might be related with improved forecast in patients with strong tumours.

Asymptomatic individuals who may be at risk for acquiring a specific type of cancer can be identified using predictive genetic testing technologies. Following the testing, these individuals are given cancer and risk-related counseling. While it is proposed that being aware of one's risk status may encourage disease prevention efforts, it is also possible that it is linked to negative psychological concerns, such as those mentioned in this effort.

In India, genetic counseling is still a relatively new field, with the first graduate-level training beginning in 2003. There are, however, differences and restrictions among the institutions that provide these services. As a result, GTC services are still scattered. The goal of this pilot study was to establish the first GTC services in India's most prestigious medical institute. Psychological problems among patients with familial cancer and their first-degree relatives were also addressed as part of this endeavor. Overall, our findings showed that counseling was linked to a considerable reduction in patient discomfort.
