Cancer Risk Assessment
Eastern Biotech offers a range of genetic tests that
provide information to individuals who may be at increased
risk of various cancers due to a family history or underlying
genetic condition. Researchers have identified 20 to
30 cancer susceptibility genes that greatly increase
a person’s odds of getting some form of malignancy.
The goal of screening is to identify those people who
are at risk of developing cancer. With the knowledge
gained, it allows the individual to take the necessary
steps in order to reduce those risks.
Who should take the test? It is important to consider the family history from both the mother's and the father's side of the family when deciding to take the test. Please consider the following:
- If any of the relatives have had cancer, including cancers of the breast, ovary, skin, prostate, thyroid, uterus (endometrium) or colon
- If any relative developed cancer before the age of 50
- If a family member had an unusual or rare type of cancer, such as male breast cancer
- If a relative had more than one type of cancer, such as breast and ovarian cancer or cancer in both breasts
- If he/she is concerned about their risk for developing cancer
- If he/she wonders whether they should have genetic testing for cancer genes
