What Is Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk?
Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk is a screening that analyzes the activation status of 47 cancer-related genes to evaluate your current risk of developing various types of cancer. By identifying hidden or invisible risks that may not appear in regular checkups, it enables early detection and supports personalized prevention strategies, such as tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance.
How It Works
Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk analyzes the expression and activation status of 47 specific cancer-related genes using a sample from your body, such as blood or saliva. By examining how these genes are functioning, the test identifies abnormalities or patterns linked to increased cancer risk. The results are then interpreted to visualize potential hidden cancer risks, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of your current cancer risk level. This information is used to create personalized prevention plans, including lifestyle and dietary recommendations.
