Nationally there is encouragement for all NHS Trusts to provide genetic testing and cousnelling to the local population. At Hampshire Hospitals we are now able to carry out genetic testing for some types of Ovarian cancer. We are also working towards providing this for Endometrial cancers too. Your Clinical Nurse Specialist will talk to you further about genetic testing as necessary during your diagnosis pathway.
