Description
What is it?
The hereditary cancer panel is a study that analyzes 27 genes that increase the susceptibility to hereditary cancer. This susceptibility is transmitted among family members according to different inheritance patterns.
The greater and better knowledge of the genetic and molecular basis of cancer, as well as new and increasingly sensitive imaging and laboratory techniques, allow for preventive medicine, capable of identifying individuals at high risk of developing certain types of tumors and improving long-term prognosis.
The panel developed by Cerba includes a total of 27 genes with implications in the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, but also prostate, pancreatic and melanoma.
What information do patients receive?
Through genetic counseling, patients with hereditary predisposition to cancer receive information on:
- The risk of presenting a neoplasm.
- The probability of transmitting the predisposition to cancer to their offspring.
- Prognosis for early detection and the most appropriate therapeutic approach.
Study recommended for:
Indicated for women and men with a personal or family history of cancer.
What does the report include?
- List of pathogenic or probably pathogenic variants and variants of uncertain significance detected in each individual according to the criteria established by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG).
- Description of the variant detected and its association with cancer.
- Inheritance pattern.
