Cancer is a disease that occurs when cells in the body grow in an abnormal, uncontrolled way. There are over 100 different types of cancer.
In the United Kingdom, approximately one out of every two individuals will develop cancer in their lifetime.
Typically, it occurs when specific genes in your body mutate due to a variety of factors, including lifestyle, diet, age and exposure to chemicals or ultraviolet rays.
Sometimes, however, these genetic mutations can be inherited from our parents. Known as inherited or hereditary cancer genes, these genes are passed down from parents to children.
You have a 50% chance of inheriting a gene mutation if one of your parents has it. While that does not necessarily mean you will develop cancer, you are more likely to do so at a younger age and have a higher risk of developing cancer.
We have tests to check your risk for specific cancers, and more comprehensive tests to check for multiple cancers, including checks for the BRCA 1 & 2 genes.
Our popular Cancer & Cardiac Disease DNA test checks your risk of 8 types of cancer plus 4 types of common heart diseases which can cause sudden cardiac arrest, stroke and heart attack at all ages.

Multi-Cancer Genetic Test for Women (breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and skin melanoma)
Tests for cancer genetics are DNA tests that are used to determine whether you possess a genetic mutation that increases your cancer risk.
Through the analysis of a wide range of genes, our test is able to determine whether you have a genetic predisposition to certain cancers, as well as which ones.
The process is extremely simple and painless. To perform our test, you must provide us with a small sample of saliva, which will be analysed in our laboratory.
If your family has experienced any of these circumstances, you may wish to check your cancer risk:
Knowing whether you have a genetic mutation enables you to make sure you have regular check-ups and screenings, and make immediate changes to your lifestyle that can mitigate your risk.
Remember, if you have a mutation, there is a 50% chance that your siblings, and your children, will have it too.
