Ovarian Cancer and the Role of Genetics
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries. While the exact cause is unknown, certain genetic mutations significantly increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Some of the genes associated with increased risk include BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2.
Comprehensive Cancer Screening
Gene by Gene provides the genetic testing component, analyzing DNA for specific gene mutations associated with hereditary cancers, including those related to ovarian cancer.
Benefits of Hereditary Cancer Screening
- Knowledge is Power: Understanding genetic risks allows for more informed decisions.
- Early Detection: If there is a gene mutation, more frequent screenings may be required to detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
- Personalised Prevention: Based on your results, doctors recommend strategies to reduce risk, such as lifestyle changes or preventative medications.
