WHAT WE DO

We provide Genetic Evaluation and Management in accordance with Standard 2.16 as part of seven separate breast cancer programs accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).

Similarly, we follow the guidelines for Risk Assessment and Genetic Counseling set forth in Standard 2.3 for Commission on Cancer-accredited programs.

We have established breast cancer risk assessment programs in conjunction with Women’s Imaging at multiple locations and all programs are customized according to physician preference and the patient population served.

We have implemented hereditary cancer risk assessment protocols for all new patients seen in the Cancer Centers we serve. The bulk of our referrals are for breast cancer genetic testing, but we are experienced in the testing and management of patients with hereditary colon cancer and other rare cancer syndromes.

We manage all aspects of clinical genetic testing including patient consultation and education, risk assessment, psychological assessment, coordination of laboratory services and insurance pre-verification as needed, results disclosure and post-test counseling as indicted.  We partner with oncologists, surgeons and primary care physicians to develop cancer screening recommendations for at-risk patients.

We attend Breast Cancer Case Conferences at each location and other Tumor Conferences and serve on the Cancer Committee at each hospital. 

We participate as members of Breast and GI Leadership work groups.

We provide long-distance oversight of genetic counseling services in one market, including: on-site start up visit, monthly follow-up visits for an agreed-upon period of time, weekly case review by phone or web, remote attendance at cancer conference as needed, availability of out-of-town genetic counselors for phone/email consultation with patients or physicians as needed.

DNAXPRT Consulting is currently contracted to provide genetic counseling services at hospitals in the Kansas City metro area, as well as San Antonio metro area, Wichita and in Utah.
