If cancer runs in your family, an inherited gene mutation may be to blame, and you may be at a much higher risk for cancer than the general population. Genetic testing is the only way to know for sure.
"I've seen too many patients who had no idea they were at a higher risk. When it comes to beating cancer, early awareness is the key to making a difference. Cancers caught in Stage 1 have more than an 80 percent survival rate."
What will your results show?
Our quiz is based on clinical guidelines doctors use to determine if genetic testing makes sense for you.
A high risk for hereditary cancers like breast, ovarian or colon cancer means that you should seek genetic testing.
Knowing whether or not you have a specific gene mutation could help you take proactive steps to protect your health.
