FAQ
What is cancer genetic testing and how does it work?
Cancer genetic testing identifies mutations in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2 that may increase your risk of cancer. It’s done via a blood or saliva sample and reviewed by a specialist.
Who should consider genetic testing for cancer?
People with a family history of cancer, early-onset cancer, or multiple related cancers may benefit from testing. Your doctor will assess your personal and family risk factors.
What types of genes are tested in cancer risk screening?
Common genes include BRCA1/2, TP53, PALB2, and others linked to breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer. A panel test offered by Onco Life Centre may cover more than 70 genes for a comprehensive overview.
What do my genetic test results mean?
A positive result indicates a higher risk, not a diagnosis. It helps guide prevention, screening, and treatment decisions. A genetic counselor can explain your results in detail.
Will my family need testing if I test positive?
Yes, your close relatives may benefit from genetic testing to assess their own cancer risk. We offer family risk counseling and testing as part of our services.
What cancers can be genetically tested?
Genetic testing can identify inherited mutations linked to several cancers, including breast cancer (BRCA1/BRCA2), ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome), prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma. At Onco Life Centre, we use panel testing to assess your risk for multiple cancer types based on your family history and clinical profile.
Is it worth getting genetic testing for cancer?
Yes, cancer genetic testing is often worth it—especially if you have a family history of cancer. It can help you understand your inherited risk, take preventive steps, and make informed decisions about early screening or risk-reducing treatments. Onco Life Centre offers personalized counseling to help you weigh the benefits and risks.
