Welcome to Hudson valley cancer genetics

Thorough assessment of family cancer history and genetic testing is crucial for identifying those at high risk for developing cancer. Results can impact cancer screening and prevention recommendations. High risk patients can also benefit from close surveillance to diagnose cancer early, when treatments can often be less aggressive and more successful.

New York City and Hudson Valley physician Dr Hannah Brooks has practiced as a General and Breast Surgeon for over two decades, and has broad clinical and academic experience in cancer. She is certified in Cancer Genetic Risk Assessment and provides family cancer risk assessment and genetic testing and interpretation. Dr Brooks believes all high risk patients merit individualized plans for their medical care. She will thoroughly review your personal family cancer history and your medical records before genetic testing. When the results are back, she will communicate recommendations with you and your other physicians.
