Cancer Prevention Center
Cancer prevention is personalized at the Lake Health Cancer Prevention Center, located inside the Perrico Health Campus in Willoughby.
Cancer occurs in about one in three adults in their lifetime. Because inherited gene mutations make it more likely that some people will develop cancer, genetic testing can help you understand your personal risks for cancer. We offer a comprehensive risk assessment questionnaire that helps determine if you may be a candidate for genetic testing. Learn more about how our team uses genetic testing to help patients manage their cancer risk.
