The test can help you determine if you have inherited a genetic risk for some of the more common types of cancer including — breast, ovarian, bowel and prostate cancer.
Some of the genes on the test include —
Breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate cancer and melanoma.
Lynch Syndrome: bowel, ovarian and uterine cancer.
Breast, colorectal, endocrine, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
Cancer happens when cells grow and divide uncontrollably
These cancer cells grow at a faster rate than they die, which then causes a tumour to develop.
Sometimes we inherit gene variations that increase our risk of cancer
Even though all cancer is genetic, only some of us are born with a higher chance of developing it.
Cancer does not discriminate and can affect us all
Gene variations that increase cancer risk can be carried by people of any age, gender and ethnicity.
Knowledge of your risk can open up access to preventative care and also influence the way you go about planning a family.
Your genetic risk can affect family members too. Help your loved ones understand your results and how their health could be impacted.
Clarify any extra steps you can take that are beyond general health advice. Prevention and early diagnosis can improve long-term health outcomes.
Understanding your risk can influence the way you plan a pregnancy, your lifestyle choices and your ability to access funded surveillance programs and risk reducing treatments.
Knowing your genetic risk is the first step toward a tailored prevention & monitoring plan to help you catch cancer early – to improve your chances of beating it.
Your DNA is analysed in a CLIA and CAP certified laboratory for variations in 61 genes associated with some of the most common types of cancer — including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate cancer and melanoma.
