Cancer Genetic Testing (CGx) DNA cancer testing.
Advanced Genomic testing is designed to help identify the DNA alterations that may be driving the growth of a specific cancer unique to you. DNA testing provides information to the physician for possible early detection and/or to design and identify treatments specifically designed to target those mutations.

The Cardiovascular Genetic test offers healthy adults insights into important risk factors, based on their DNA. This test analyzes genes with known correlations to increased risk for certain cardiovascular disease. Testing is recommended for individuals who have a family history of cancer, whose biological family is unknown, or who have a curiosity about their health and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

Understanding Hereditary or Predisposition Cancer Genomics
Genetic testing analyzes specific inherited changes (mutations) in a person’s genetic make-up. Genetic mutations may have different effects on a person’s health. Mutations that are harmful may increase a person’s chance or risk of developing a disease such as cancer. Inherited mutations are thought to play a role in 5-10% of all cancers*. These conditions are considered hereditary and appropriate genetic testing may be used to determine an individual’s predisposition risk. Germline DNA is the source of DNA for all other cells in the body. Some people inherit mutations in the germline from their parents which then allows for the mutations to be passed to their children. There are two classes of cellular genes: oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Often multiple genetic mutations in a single individual are responsible for the development of hereditary cancers.

Cancer research has identified more than 100 gene mutations that increase the risk for cancer. A person’s DNA is the set of instructions to build and maintain an organism. Some changes in DNA may help fight cancer. Other changes can make a person more likely to develop cancer.
Genetic counseling and testing may be recommended for people who have had certain cancers or certain patterns of cancer in their family.
- Several first-degree relatives (mother, father, sisters, brothers, children) with cancer.
- Many relatives on one side of the family who have had the same type of cancer.
- A cluster of cancers in your family that are known to be linked to a single gene mutation (such as breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers in your family).
- A family member with more than 1 type of cancer.
- A family member with a rare cancer such as breast cancer in a male or retinoblastoma.
- Ethnicity (for example Jewish ancestry is linked to ovarian and breast cancers).
- A physical finding that's linked to an inherited cancer (such as having many colon polyps).
- A known genetic mutation in one or more family members who have already had genetic testing.
- Close relatives with cancers that are linked to rare hereditary cancer syndromes.
Cancer genetic testing may help in the following ways
- Identify a genetic change that may increase your risk for cancer
-
Detect and suggest proper treatment for a cancer early, when the remission
and survival rates are best - Help your doctor and healthcare professionals choose the best treatments
- Choose a cancer prevention strategy
- Consider how cancer may affect reproductive options
- Provide information about your risk for children having cancer
