Take Control of Your Digestive Health with Advanced Genetic Screening
We understand that concerns about gastro-intestinal cancer can create significant anxiety and uncertainty. Many South Africans worry about their digestive health, especially when there’s family history or persistent symptoms. Our Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Gene Panel provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, using cutting-edge technology to assess your inherited cancer risks.
Understanding Your Genetic Cancer Risk
This comprehensive panel examines multiple genes associated with various digestive cancers, including colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, and oesophageal cancer. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA from a simple blood sample to identify inherited genetic mutations that may increase your cancer risk.
The test doesn’t diagnose current cancer but provides crucial information about your genetic predisposition, helping you and your healthcare provider develop personalised screening and prevention strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of gastro-intestinal cancers in first-degree relatives
- Persistent digestive symptoms without clear diagnosis
- Personal history of polyps or pre-cancerous conditions
- Concerns about inherited cancer syndromes
- Desire for proactive health monitoring and early detection
- Unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits
Many South Africans find this test provides valuable peace of mind, especially when there are patterns of digestive cancers in their family.
Why Early Genetic Screening Matters for Your Health
Early detection through genetic screening can be life-saving. Understanding your genetic risk allows for:
- Personalised screening schedules tailored to your risk level
- Early intervention and preventive measures
- Reduced anxiety through knowledge and proactive planning
- Informed family discussions about inherited risks
- Potential lifestyle modifications to reduce cancer risk
- Peace of mind knowing you’re taking control of your health
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. Our team provides clear, compassionate explanations of your findings:
- Positive Result: Indicates an inherited genetic mutation that increases cancer risk. We provide detailed guidance on next steps and connect you with genetic counselling resources.
- Negative Result: No known cancer-associated mutations detected, providing valuable peace of mind.
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Rare genetic changes where cancer risk is unclear. We monitor these findings as research evolves.
All results include comprehensive explanations and recommendations for follow-up care with your healthcare provider.
