Knowing where your cancer came from could save your life, or your children’s lives. Did you know up to 1 in 61 men with prostate cancer have a genetic mutation that may have caused their cancer? It’s true.
If you have a genetic mutation, you may be at a higher risk of developing secondary cancer or having more aggressive cancer. Genetic mutations can also be passed on. This means that your sons, daughters and siblings all have a 50% chance of having the same mutation. They could be at risk for getting the same kind of cancer or another potentially threatening form.
It can be.
Hereditary cancer occurs when a gene mutation is passed down from parent to child. People with hereditary cancer mutations in their family are more likely to have relatives with the same type or other related types of cancer.
Hereditary prostate cancer is generally more aggressive than non-hereditary types, which means that early detection, along with new treatment options, can be lifesaving. Having hereditary cancer can also mean a higher risk for developing more than one cancer and those cancers often occur at an earlier age.
If you do have hereditary prostate cancer, you want to find out early. The answers are in your genes.
If you’re newly diagnosed with prostate cancer or have already been treated for it, there are simple genetic tests that offer peace of mind and greater hope. Myriad genetic testing shows if you inherited a mutation that may have caused your cancer and whether your family members have an elevated risk. And if you’ve previously been treated for prostate cancer, genetic testing can identify your risk of developing secondary cancer in the future.
Certain genetic tests like BRACAnalysis CDx® can determine if you qualify for new FDA-approved targeted therapies – therapies that can maintain your quality of life and give you more time. By identifying if you have a germline BRCA 1/2 mutation, the test quickly and accurately establishes whether or not you’re an appropriate candidate for PARP inhibitor therapy.
Knowing your hereditary cancer status is critical when it comes to making treatment decisions and understanding your true risk.
