Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancer: Know Your Risk, Take Control

Understanding your genetic predisposition to cancer can empower you to make proactive healthcare decisions. Many adult-onset cancers are linked to inherited gene mutations—changes in DNA that can increase your risk of developing cancer. With genetic testing, these mutations can be detected long before cancer develops, giving you the opportunity to take preventive measures.

What Genetic Testing Can Reveal

Genetic testing doesn’t predict with certainty whether you will develop cancer, but it does provide valuable insights into your personalized risk profile. By identifying specific gene mutations, you and your healthcare provider can take informed steps to reduce risk, monitor for early signs, and explore preventive options.

Cancers Linked to Hereditary Gene Mutations

Genetic testing can help detect mutations associated with:

• Breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Uterine cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers

Early detection means earlier interventions, better monitoring, and potentially life-saving treatment strategies.
