Get started

Ovarian cancer in your family history?

Turn early knowledge into power

If ovarian cancer is in your family, understanding your risk is essential because early symptoms can be hard to spot. When a loved one is diagnosed, it’s natural to wonder about your own health, even if you feel fine. Some cancers, including ovarian cancer, can run in families, and inherited genetic changes may quietly increase your risk.

Knowing your risk gives you the power to take control. The MyRisk Test can help uncover whether those risks apply to you, so you and your provider can make informed and potentially life-saving decisions with confidence.

What is genetic testing for ovarian cancer risk?

BRCA1 and BRCA2: Key players in hereditary cancer

Breast and ovarian cancer are often connected by inherited gene mutations. Two of the most well-known are BRCA1 and BRCA2, which can significantly increase a person’s risk of developing these cancers.

Understanding Lynch Syndrome and its impact

Another condition called Lynch syndrome can also raise the risk for ovarian, colon, endometrial and other cancers. Because these gene changes can be passed down silently through generations, many families don’t know they carry them until cancer appears.

Ovarian cancer gene detection with MyRisk

The MyRisk Test analyzes genes associated with both BRCA 1/2-related cancers and Lynch syndrome. By uncovering your hereditary risk, it gives you and your healthcare provider actionable insights to take preventive steps, start earlier screenings, and make informed choices for your health and your family’s future.

Take control of your health with the MyRisk Test

If you have a personal or family history of cancer, the MyRisk Test may help you understand your risk of developing ovarian and other types of cancer. It can also provide important information for your family members if your test reveals a genetic change associated with hereditary cancer.
