Product Description
This is an easy to use at home sample collection kit. You submit swabs of your inside cheeks to the Viaguard lab and receive a confidential report in 25 days.
This test encourages understanding risk and empowering prevention via early detection.
This test identifies genetic variants linked to the following carcinomas: Breast Cancer,Skin Cancer, Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Prostate Cancer, and Thyroid Cancer
Genotyping technologies have enabled scientists to find variants in the sequence of the human genome linked to a predisposition for a range of carcinomas.
The genetic test perfomed in this cancer scan are risk tests, more analogous to biomarker risk tests such as LDL-Cholesterol and PSA, rather than a definitive Mendelian genetic test, like for Huntington's disease, which is essentially definitive.
Your results will be explained in terms you and your physician will understand, and decisions can be made as to whether additional prevention or detection strategies may be beneficial.
Carrying a genetic risk variant for a disease does not mean you will develop a disease and vice versa. Variants impact the likelihood that one may develop the disease, and understanding the genetic risk is empowering information.
It is possible to take preventative action through lifestyle modification and certain medications. The situation should be discussed with your physician. |
