Cancer Genetic Testing
We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health. Cancer genetic testing can help determine whether you carry inherited gene changes (mutations) that increase your risk for certain cancers. With this information, we can take proactive steps together to monitor your health and reduce your risk.
What is Cancer Genetic Testing?
Cancer genetic testing looks for inherited mutations in specific genes that are known to increase the risk for certain cancers including:
If you inherit one of these genetic mutations, it does not mean you will definitely develop cancer, but your risk is higher than the general population. Identifying that risk early allows us to take preventive steps and customize your care plan.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
Early Detection & Prevention
Increased screenings, lifestyle changes, or medication may reduce your risk.
Empowered Family Planning
Learn if your children or siblings could benefit from testing.
Guided Treatment Decisions
If you've already had cancer, genetic results may help guide personalized treatment.
Who Should Consider Testing?
You may want to explore cancer genetic testing if you have:
- Cancer diagnosed before age 50
- Multiple primary cancers
- More than one family member with the same or related cancers
- Known genetic mutations in the family
- A diagnosis of rare or unusual cancers
Even if you haven't been diagnosed with cancer, knowing your inherited risk can guide screening and prevention strategies.
