A powerful tool for cancer
A cancer diagnosis is stressful and overwhelming. We’re here to help.
Understanding your genes can help guide you and your doctor to the most effective treatments, bringing you one step closer to beating cancer and then staying healthy in the long term.
Genetic testing and cancer genes
Forty percent of men and thirty-nine percent of women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes.¹
In many cases, a person’s genetics has made them more susceptible to cancer. Genetic testing can help identify these pathogenic variants that can help guide care decisions.
How testing works
We know you’re getting a lot of tests right now. Our genetic tests can be started from the comfort of your home with a simple saliva sample.
Step 1
Request a test online via a telehealth clinician or work with your doctor.
Step 2
Provide a saliva sample from the comfort of your home and ship it to our lab.
Step 3
Get your results and share them with your doctor. If you'd like, talk to a genetic counselor.
