Precision Cancer Risk AssessmentS
Advanced Genetic Testing
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in identifying inherited predispositions to cancer, paving the way for proactive diagnostic evaluations. At Integrative Medicine Associates in Oradell, NJ, we leverage advanced genetic testing to assess cancer risk, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk
Advancements in genetic research have facilitated the analysis of numerous genes associated with increased cancer risk. Our comprehensive genetic testing examines over 120 genes, providing insights into potential predispositions to various malignancies, including:
Breast Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Identifying these genetic markers allows for personalized surveillance strategies and preventive measures.
Understanding Genetic Risk vs. Actual Diagnosis
It is essential to differentiate between genetic risk and an actual cancer diagnosis. A positive genetic test result indicates an increased likelihood of developing a specific type of cancer but does not confirm its presence. Similarly, a negative result does not guarantee the absence of cancer. Therefore, genetic testing should be incorporated into a thorough and comprehensive health assessment.
Advanced Early Detection:
The Galleri® Test
DNA methylation patterns can be analyzed to identify the presence of circulating cancer cells, as the Galleri® test can contribute to an early detection of up to 50 types of cancer. This test can detect cancers often missed by standard screening protocols.
Some considerations are required, such as the limited detection sensitivity in early stages, the high cost and lack of insurance coverage.
