Cancer Genetic Testing
A very important aspect of such tests is to receive Genetic Counselling.
How we can
help you
We will be able to guide you based on your family history and provide you with a better understanding of such medical tests to make an informed decision.
Genetic tests for cancer can be considered if:
Reasons:
- A first degree relative like mother, father, siblings or children have/ had cancer
- A family member is known to have an inherited cancer
- A relative has more than one type of cancer
- Family member(s) who have had cancer detected at an unusually young age
- Several members who have the same type of cancer
- Presence of birth defects that are known to be associated to be linked to cancer, to name a few.

- Several factors influence whether a given person with the variant will actually develop cancer:
- Penetrance of the variant. How many persons who carry the genetic anomaly will develop cancer?
- Expressivity of the disease. How the disease will be expressed?
- Lifestyle factors and environmental risks can also influence disease expression.
