Why Get Tested?

For many, a family history of breast or ovarian cancer can raise questions about personal risk. Our Genetic Breast Screening Test offers vital insights, helping you understand if you carry inherited genetic mutations that significantly increase your predisposition to these conditions.

This advanced genetic test involves:

• Analysis of Key Genes: We screen for specific genetic variants known to be linked to a higher lifetime risk of breast, ovarian, and other related cancers. The results provide crucial information about your genetic profile, enabling you and your healthcare provider to develop a highly personalized risk management and screening strategy.

Our comprehensive gene panel for breast and related cancer risk includes:

ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDH1, CHEK2, PALB2, PTEN, TP53.

Why choose PMG's Genetic Breast Screening Test?

• Early Risk Identification: Discover if you carry genetic mutations that elevate your susceptibility to breast and related cancers, often long before any symptoms might appear.

• Empower Informed Decisions: Knowledge of your genetic status allows for proactive measures, such as:

  • Tailored Screening: Guiding decisions on earlier mammograms, MRIs, or other surveillance methods.

  • Preventive Strategies: Discussing options like risk-reducing medications or surgeries where appropriate.

  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Making informed choices that may help mitigate risk.

• Family Insights: Identifying a genetic mutation can also have important implications for your blood relatives, enabling them to consider testing and appropriate screening, potentially saving lives across generations.

• Peace of Mind: While discovering a mutation can be daunting, it provides actionable information to take control of your health journey. For those without a high-risk mutation, it can offer reassurance.
