Patient Resources
Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health offers specialized high-risk screening clinics designed for people who have a greater-than-average chance of developing cancer due to factors like family history, genetic mutations, personal medical history, or other risk indicators. These clinics typically offer more frequent monitoring, earlier starting ages for testing, and sometimes additional tools like advanced imaging or clinical studies. The goals of high-risk screening are straightforward:
- Catch potential problems as early as possible, when they're most treatable
- Give patients a clearer picture of their personal risk so they can make informed decisions about their health
Screening for High-Risk Individuals
Individuals at high risk for certain cancers due to genetics, lifestyle or environmental exposure may benefit from specialized screening and diagnostic services.
