General Info

The Pediatric Cancer Genetic Risk Program at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's provides cancer risk assessment for children, comprehensive recommendations for managing cancer risk in children, and psychosocial support for families affected by hereditary cancer. We also conduct research into many aspects of cancer risk and its management. We are one of the few cancer genetic risk programs in the U.S. focused specifically on pediatric cancer risk. Our goal is to help you determine whether your children are at risk of cancer - and if so, what can be done either to help prevent cancer in your children or to catch it early and address it quickly for the best possible outcome.
