Learn more about the Fitness Consultations.

Tobacco Cessation

Tobacco use is the most common preventable cause of death, as almost half of the people who do not choose to quit smoking, die of smoking-related problems. Choosing to quit smoking is the first step on your road to good health.

Cancer Genetics

Family Cancer Risk Service

Vanderbilt's Family Cancer Risk Service is the region's first educational consultation service to assist individuals and families in assessing their risk of inherited cancers and developing plans to reduce their risk through genetic testing, surveillance and other means.

Vanderbilt Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Registry

The Vanderbilt Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Registry is dedicated to the understanding of hereditary colorectal cancers by gathering information on patients and their family members who have either had colorectal cancer or, because of family history, are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Personalized Cancer Medicine

Cancer treatment can be tailored to your cancer when tumors have specific genetic changes driving their growth and when drugs exist that counteract those signals.

Survivorship Program

REACH for Survivorship Program

The REACH (Research, Education, Advocacy, Clinical Care and Health) for Survivorship Program is Middle Tennessee’s first dedicated Cancer Survivorship Clinic. It is the first in the nation that provides services for all survivors, regardless of age at diagnosis, type of cancer, or where they received their treatment. The REACH for Survivorship Program is a community resource to meet these unique needs of pediatric and adult cancer survivors and be a “bridge” between the care of a cancer specialist and their primary care doctor.
