DG Hereditary cancer (163 genes)

Cancer is a disorder of cell proliferation caused by genetic alterations. It is estimated that approximately 5% of all tumors are hereditary, meaning they are the result of germline mutations in specific genes that increase susceptibility to cancer. These mutations are transmitted among family members according to different inheritance patterns. Genetic diagnosis of hereditary cancer is essential for selecting the most appropriate treatment and clinical management for the patient and provides the necessary tools for early detection and prevention in family members who are carriers of the same condition. The test includes a pre-analysis genetic counseling consultation with one of our geneticists and a post-analysis genetic counseling consultation for the delivery of the results report.
