The Hereditary Cancer Test-1

Early cancer detection can dramatically improve your chances of survival

Inherited genetic mutations can increase the chance of developing cancer

 

Our test specifically looks for mutations in genes associated with a number of Hereditary Cancers, including Breast, Ovarian, Prostate, Colon, Stomach, Head and Neck cancers.

Once your saliva sample has been analysed by our experts, a detailed report that includes information on the presence, or absence of mutations associated with increased cancer risk will be sent to your doctor within 3 weeks. You’ll then have the chance to go through the results together, and your doctor can explain any findings or next steps if they’re required.

Who is this test for?

Anyone over the age of 18, including healthy individuals who want to know if they’re at an increased risk of cancer later in life. However, we specifically recommend it for the following:

  • Individuals in certain ethnic groups, such as Ashkenazi Jewish, that have an increased risk (1 in 40) for certain cancers.
  • Individuals with a family history of cancer. This means a combination (usually 2 or more) of cancers on the same side of the family.
  • Individuals who have a family member with breast, colorectal, endometrial, and possibly other cancers before the age of 50.
  • Individuals with a family member with a rare form of cancer at any age (i.e. triple-negative breast cancer, ovarian cancer)
  • Individuals with cancer who want to understand if their cancer was hereditary and if they are at an increased risk for other cancers.
