En laboratories González will soon have the test color, a test in which you can know the risk of suffering hereditary cancer. Through the analysis of a panel of thirty genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA 2, you will have a validity test for life.
This test can be done by both men and women. It assesses the risk of common hereditary cancers such as breast or ovary, but also analyzes genes associated with cancers of uterus, melanoma, colorectal, stomach, prostate and pancreas.
The 10-15% of hereditary cancers are due to the presence of inherited generic mutations. Knowing that if you carry a mutation will allow you and your doctor to establish a personalized plan to prevent and detect cancers.
Color Test
A saliva sample is required for the test, as well as an informed consent and a short medical survey. The report with the result will be ready in 4-5 weeks. With it you can have a clear and comprehensive communication about mutations with an increased risk of cancer, as well as details and the effect of any mutation detected.
They will also advise you giving you detailed information on how this mutation can affect your family members. And also respond to your doubts.
