Knowledge can’t change your past.
But it can rewrite your future.

You’ve already taken the first step – asking the questions.
MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test is how you get answers.

Take control of your health

Fear of the unknown can make it hard to take the next step –
especially when it feels like the answers are out of your control.

But knowing doesn’t just give you answers. It gives you options. It can help you take control of your health, make informed choices, and work with your care team to take action early. Instead of wondering what if, the MyRisk Test helps you move forward with clarity and a plan that’s right for you. That could mean more frequent breast screenings like mammograms and MRIs or medications that can help you reduce your risk.

"I felt like cancer was coming for me, but after I got MyRisk, I knew I had options, and I had a game plan.”

The first step to caring for your tomorrow

MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test

The industry’s only test that unites comprehensive hereditary cancer screening with a personalized breast cancer risk assessment.

Comprehensive genetic testing

The MyRisk Test looks at 48 genes to help assess your risk for 11 different hereditary cancers.

Personalized breast cancer insight

RiskScore® gives a five-year and remaining lifetime breast cancer estimate that is twice as accurate as the Tyrer-Cuzick model alone.1

Trusted accuracy

With 99.9% accuracy, the MyRisk Test has one of the lowest rates of uncertain results for BRCA1/2 genes and updates your report as new discoveries are made.2,3

Learn your risk with RiskScore

For many people, MyRisk also provides RiskScore—a personalized estimate of your chance of developing breast cancer over the next five years and remaining lifetime. This unique assessment combines your genetic results with clinical risk factors, family history, and breast cancer genetic risk markers—helping you make the most informed choices for your health.

“I believe if Dr. Frantz had never recommended the MyRisk genetic testing, the cancer wouldn’t have been found as early as it was. I don’t know if I’d be sitting here today.”
