Please Note:

Your referral will be processed more rapidly if you include the following information:

·       the names of affected family members and their approximate age of onset and type of cancers (or append a brief sketch of a family tree)
·       if a genetic mutation has been identified in the family please let us know, and include if possible the relatives name or contact details or the family mutation if known
·       If your own patient has cancer –  age at onset and a copy of the histopathology report
