Hereditary Cancer Genetic Counseling and Testing (CGX)
We are now providing Hereditary Cancer Genetic Counseling and Testing (CGX). Hereditary cancer is believed to be responsible for 10% of all diagnosed cancers.
Genetic tests are available for some types of cancer.
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer.
- Ovarian cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women.
- Colorectal cancer affects about 5% of individuals in their lifetime.
- Uterine cancer affects about 1 in 37, less than 3% of women.
- Pancreatic and kidney cancer are next in a list of hereditary cancer.
Non-invasive hereditary cancer screening may let you know if you are genetically predisposed to certain hereditary cancers and help you make medical decisions about cancer screening, prevention or medical treatments.
It can also help people qualify for treatment clinical trials enrolling people with hereditary cancer.
The CGX test process is a simple, either buccal swab or blood test. This test allows your health care provider to create a proactive plan for your future.
