What is genetic testing for cancer risk?

Some people inherit genetic changes (mutations) that can increase their risk of developing cancer. Hereditary cancer genetic testing looks for these inherited gene mutations to help determine if you may be at higher risk.

Knowing whether you carry these gene mutations gives you and your healthcare provider valuable insight to possibly reduce your risk of developing cancer or increase the likelihood of detecting cancer at an earlier and more treatable stage.

Your path to action starts with the MyRisk Test

The MyRisk Test gives you more than results—it provides clarity, confidence, and a plan you can act on. With comprehensive screening, expert guidance, and personalized insights, the MyRisk Test helps you and your provider take proactive steps to protect your health.
