5 deliverables in this treatment
- Physician consultation to select the appropriate gene panel
- Gene-panel analysis for hereditary cancer risk including BRCA1 and BRCA2
- Blood sample collection during a standard clinic visit
- Results within about one month, interpreted by a physician
- Clinical-geneticist consultation for any clinically significant finding
Galen Clinic's oncogenetic testing analyses genes linked to an increased risk of the most common hereditary cancers, including the high-risk BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The panel covers genes associated with elevated risk of breast, ovarian, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, kidney, skin and other cancers. The test is performed from a simple blood sample taken during a standard clinic visit and sent to a specialised genetics laboratory, with results typically available within about a month. Because a result can carry significant personal and family implications, testing is always preceded by a physician consultation to choose the right test and explain what the results mean; any clinically significant finding is interpreted together with a clinical geneticist. The aim is not to diagnose existing disease but to inform a personalised, better-targeted prevention and monitoring plan.
About this treatment
Oncogenetic testing looks at inherited genetic predispositions to cancer rather than detecting an existing tumour. Galen Clinic offers it from 12,500 Kč as a self-pay option for clients who have not been classified as high-risk on family history grounds but still want to understand their genetic predispositions (clients with a positive family history are usually tested within the public health-insurance system).
What the panel covers
Genes associated with increased risk of breast, ovarian, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, kidney and skin cancers, among others — including the high-risk BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes most strongly linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
