At Women’s Excellence, we take preventative care seriously. Everyone is familiar with annual exams and mammograms, but what about going one step further and looking at your genetic makeup? We provide state-of-the-art hereditary cancer testing that will give patients a breast cancer risk assessment, an ovarian cancer risk assessment, and insight into other diseases that can be inherited.
We offer patients a 29-gene panel that identifies an elevated risk for eight hereditary diseases, including:
1. Breast cancer
2. Uterine cancer
3. Ovarian cancer
4. Endometrial cancer
5. Melanoma
6. Pancreatic cancer
7. Colorectal cancer
8. Gastric cancer
The hereditary cancer risk test is a simple blood test taken in our office. To see if you are a candidate for the blood test, fill out the cancer risk assessment below. This brief questionnaire will help you determine whether you should be further evaluated for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome, or other hereditary cancers as listed above.
Don’t forget to include BOTH your mother’s and father’s sides of the family when answering questions.
These questions are based on the clinical guidelines that doctors use to determine whether you should be tested for one of the syndromes above. This is not a test, but rather a questionnaire to help determine risk so you can be prepared to talk to your doctor about further evaluation of your personal and family history of cancer.
