Infographic: Preventing Hereditary Cancer

Understanding your risk for hereditary cancer is an important step in preventing cancer. Myriad Genetics has put together this new infographic on the importance of knowing your family history of cancer, so that you can understand your potential risks.

Additionally, if you’re looking for more information on cancer prevention, we have a 30-second Hereditary Cancer Quiz that you can take that will identify certain red flags. The quiz is located here: https://www.hereditarycancerquiz.com/

Myriad Genetics offers the Myriad MyRisk Hereditary Cancer genetic test for patients with red flags, and we encourage patients to speak with their healthcare provider about ordering the test. This test is a 28-gene panel that identifies and provides a risk assessment for these eight important hereditary cancers: Breast, Ovarian, Gastric, Colorectal, Pancreatic, Melanoma, Prostate and Endometrial.
