Take Control of Your Genetic Cancer Risk with Lynch Syndrome Testing
If you’re worried about your family history of colorectal cancer or seeking answers about hereditary cancer risks, you’re not alone. Many South Africans carry genetic mutations that increase their cancer susceptibility without knowing it. Our Microsatellite Instability test provides the clarity you need to make informed health decisions and potentially prevent cancer before it develops.
Understanding Microsatellite Instability Testing
Microsatellite Instability (MSI) testing examines specific DNA sequences that act as genetic “fingerprints” in your cells. When these sequences become unstable, it indicates a higher risk for Lynch Syndrome – a hereditary condition that significantly increases your chances of developing colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers. Think of it as checking the foundation of your genetic blueprint for any structural weaknesses that could lead to serious health issues down the line.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have multiple family members with colorectal or endometrial cancer
- Were diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50
- Have a personal or family history of multiple cancer types
- Want proactive screening for hereditary cancer risks
- Have concerns about passing genetic risks to your children
Many patients find relief in knowing their genetic status, allowing them to take preventive measures rather than living with uncertainty.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering you have Lynch Syndrome isn’t about receiving bad news – it’s about gaining the power to protect your health. Early identification allows for:
- Proactive cancer screening starting at younger ages
- Preventive measures that can significantly reduce cancer risk
- Informed family planning decisions
- Peace of mind through regular monitoring
- Early intervention when treatment is most effective
Knowledge truly is power when it comes to hereditary cancer risks.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, compassionate explanations of your results:
- MSI-High: Indicates microsatellite instability is present, suggesting possible Lynch Syndrome
- MSI-Stable: Shows normal microsatellite patterns, indicating lower hereditary risk
- Comprehensive guidance on next steps regardless of your result
- Referral to genetic counsellors if needed for further discussion
Remember: A positive result means you can take proactive steps, not that cancer is inevitable.
