Genetic testing helps assess whether you might be at risk of hereditary cancer (due to inherited cancer-causing mutation). It is especially indicated for people with a strong personal or family history of cancer, who may benefit from understanding their own risk of developing the disease. With this information, they can take steps to potentially prevent cancer, delay the onset of the disease or catch it at an earlier stage when outcomes and survival rates are better.

Our practice partners with Myriad Lab who helped develop a hereditary cancer blood test. It offers testing for several inherited cancers, including breast, ovarian, colon, skin (melanoma), uterine (endometrial), pancreatic, gastric, and prostate cancer.
