Genetic Cancer testing?

I am directly involved in the use of genetics with cancer patients, however I am curious what the public thoughts are about the use of a person's predisposition in terms of their DNA/Genetic make up, to help direct their patients medical care.

The general public does not have patients usually they are the patient. I have never seen one object to genetic testing especially when they have children to consider. However, I only deal with cancer patients.
