Eastern Biotech has a range of genetic tests that provide
information to individuals who may be at increased risk
of various Cancers due to a personal history of cancer,
family history of cancer or an underlying genetic condition.
The goal of the screening is to let people aware of
the cancer risk, cancer genetics, genetic testing, early
detection, improved cancer management and possible risk
reduction. Researchers have identified 20 to 30 cancer-susceptibility
genes that greatly increase a person's odds of getting
some form of malignancy.

of cancer, such as male breast cancer

such as breast and ovarian cancer or cancer in both
breasts
