Genetic testing can determine your risk of developing cancer by identifying changes in your genes. The risk of developing cancer rises with a genetic susceptibility to cancer. Approx. 6% to 10% of all cancers are related to inherited gene changes. When specific genetic changes happen within cells, the way they divide can become typical and grow into cancer. Several factors, like environmental and lifestyle factors, can lead to developing cancer. Moreover, our cancer genetic testing costs are set comparatively; everyone can go with it. 

What are the Types of Cancers?

Following are the different types of cancers:

Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer is any cancerous growth that starts in the ovaries, the organs that make eggs in females. The Germline mutation test easily detects it.

Prostate Cancer: It’s one the most common types of cancer in males. Genetic testing for cancer can provide thorough insights about the chances of getting prostate cancer much early.

Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a disorder in which cells in the breast grow out of control. With the help of genetic cancer tests, you can know the risks and thus plan for the best treatment.

Colorectal Cancer: Cancer impacting the rectum & colon is known as colorectal cancer. Depending upon the place where the cancer begins, it is called rectal and colon cancer, which can be predicted by genetic testing for cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer: Pancreatic cancer is a kind of cancer that’s found anywhere in the pancreas. A genetic test can also predict Pancreatic Cancer.

Melanoma: It’s a type of skin cancer that develops when melanocytes grow out of control. It’s less common than some other kinds of skin cancers. But melanoma is more risky because it is much more likely to spread to other body parts if not treated early.

Who Should Opt for Genetic Testing for Cancer?

One should get genetic testing for cancer if they have any of the following:

• First-degree relatives like father, mother, brother, sister with cancer
• A clump of cancers in the family that are known to be connected to a single gene mutation, like ovarian, & breast cancers.
• A family member who has more than one kind of cancer 
• Male & female who had cancer under the age of 50
• Close relatives (uncle, aunt, cousin) with cancers that are linked to rare genetic cancer syndromes
• Individuals belong to a specific racial & ethnic group where cancer is more common than others.
