Hereditary Cancer Screening
What is Hereditary Cancer Screening?
Simple testing. Powerful knowledge. Healthier choices.
Certain genetic mutations, which can be inherited, can significantly increase the risk of developing cancer, often before any symptoms appear. Through hereditary cancer screening, your DNA is analyzed to identify inherited changes linked to cancers such as breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, lung, melanoma, and others.
Testing Process
A simple and non-invasive buccal swab is collected. The DNA from the swab is then analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, allowing you to uncover vital information about your genetic risks.
Depending on your needs, the analysis can focus on specific groups of genes through targeted panels, all protein-coding regions using whole exome sequencing (WES), or your entire genetic code via whole genome sequencing (WGS), each offering different levels of detail and insight.
Empowering Your Health Journey
Understanding your genetic profile empowers you to take proactive steps for early detection, prevention, and better health outcomes.
