Your families cancer history, your genetic starting point.

By understanding your hereditary cancer risk, you and your care provider can develop a plan to significantly reduce your risk or enable early detection through more frequent screening. Test4Cancer® provides a comprehensive risk assessment through the combination of genetic testing and an assessment of family cancer history.

Through Test4Cancer® you can identify whether you carry an increased risk for hereditary cancer. Test4Cancer® combines genetic testing with a review of your family’s cancer history for a comprehensive assessment.

An assessment of the DNA in your saliva reveals whether you carry a genetic variant (mutation) that increases your risk of cancer.

Your family’s cancer history is reviewed for clinical indicators of hereditary cancer.

How common is Cancer?

Roughly half of the British population will develop cancer in their lifetime, and 5-10% of all cancer is hereditary. Still, 97% of those at risk for hereditary cancer remain unidentified.

Hereditary cancer may be due to one underlying genetic variant – also called a mutation – or a combination of several variants and environmental factors.

Certain cancers are more strongly linked to hereditary factors than others. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and as much as one third of all cases are thought to be hereditary.

Test4Cancer® is intended for adults 18 years of age or older who would like to know if they have an increased risk for hereditary cancer. Please note that pathogenic variants are rare in the general population. The probability is increased, however, if any of the following are true:

If you or a close relative have been diagnosed with cancer at a young age, such as breast cancer before 40. What is considered young varies by cancer type.

If you or a close relative have had several cancer diagnoses.

If you or a close relative have had a rare cancer diagnosis.

If several close relatives have had the same or related cancer diagnoses. Colorectal cancer and uterine cancer, for example, are related cancer types.

Research shows, however, that many individuals with pathogenic variants do not meet these criteria.
