Genetic Cancer Screening London – Hereditary Cancer Panel (157 Genes)
Comprehensive DNA testing to assess your inherited cancer risk. Screen for 150+ cancer-related genes with advanced genetic analysis in Central London.
Hereditary Cancer Panel London
A Hereditary Cancer Panel is a comprehensive genetic test that screens multiple genes linked to increased inherited cancer risk.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, advanced cancer genetic screening analyses more than 150 genes associated with hereditary cancers, providing broader insight than single-gene testing like BRCA alone.
What Is a Hereditary Cancer Panel?
This test uses advanced DNA sequencing to analyse genes associated with inherited cancer risk and provides a comprehensive risk profile rather than a single-gene result.
This panel can identify mutations linked to:
- Breast cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Other hereditary cancer syndromes
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Family history of multiple cancers
- Early-onset cancer in relatives
- Known genetic mutations in the family
- Individuals seeking preventive health screening
- Patients wanting a broader alternative to BRCA testing
If you are only concerned about breast or ovarian cancer, consider BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Test London | £1400 | 35 days.
What Does the Test Involve?
- Step 1: Blood or saliva sample collection
- Step 2: Next-generation sequencing of multiple genes
- Step 3: Data analysis for clinically relevant mutations
- Step 4: Clear report with optional consultation
What Do the Results Show?
- No mutation detected: Standard population risk
- Pathogenic mutation: Increased cancer risk identified and preventive action may be recommended
- Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Requires monitoring or followup interpretation
Benefits of Cancer Genetic Screening
- Early detection of cancer risk
- Personalised screening plans
- Preventive healthcare strategies
- Family risk awareness
- Peace of mind through clearer risk assessment
