Northside Hospital Cherokee Offers Genetic Counseling, Testing for Cancer Risk To prevent future cancer diagnoses, Northside has expanded its Cancer Genetics Program to Cherokee County, with locations in Canton and Holly Springs.About ten percent of all cancers are hereditary, which means that some people are born with a broken, or mutated, gene that greatly increases their risk for certain types of cancer. The most well-known examples are the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but there are dozens of genes that have been discovered and linked to almost every type of cancer. Northsides Cancer Genetics Program offers consultations with board-certified genetic counselors who provide a thorough cancer risk assessment and testing for anyone who may be concerned about their personal or family history of cancer.
