Genetic counseling: more than a blood test

Craig Gilbert just 18 when he lost his father to colon cancer, which had also taken both of his grandparents and his uncle. After experiencing symptoms, Gilbert had his first colonoscopy at age 35, determined to face his own risk for colon cancer head-on.

Now at 44, thanks to UC Irvine Health genetic counseling and testing services, he has the information to do just that.
