ABOUT ONCOLOGIST TEST

Hereditary Cancer Risk & Tumour Profiling

Cancer rarely arrives without a genetic story. An oncology DNA test reads that story, to reveal an inherited risk to enable you act early, or to map the specific mutations driving a diagnosed tumour so your doctors can target it precisely with the right treatment modalities. Knowledge, in cancer, is time. And time is everything.

Two Different Reasons to Take an Oncology Genetic Test

Oncology genetic testing either reveals an inherited cancer risk so you can act early, or maps the mutations driving a diagnosed tumour so your doctors can target treatment with precision. Knowledge, in cancer, is time — and time is everything.

Hereditary (Germline) Cancer-Risk Testing

If cancer runs in your family, germline testing can reveal whether you inherited a gene change that raises your lifetime risk. That knowledge helps you and your doctor plan earlier screening, prevention, and care for relatives who may share the same risk.

Somatic Tumour Profiling

For patients already diagnosed. If you or a loved one has a confirmed cancer, profiling the tumour's own DNA can identify the specific mutations driving it. This helps your oncologist choose the right therapies matched to your cancer and can reveal eligibility for targeted treatments and clinical trials.

This test can help you:

  • Learn whether you carry an inherited gene change linked to common cancers
  • Plan earlier, smarter screening with your doctor if your risk is high
  • Give a diagnosed patient's oncologist a precise molecular map of the tumour
  • Identify mutations that may respond to targeted therapies
  • Replace uncertainty with a clear, evidence-based plan

A genetic result is not a diagnosis or a sentence. Carrying a risk gene does not mean you will develop cancer, and not carrying one does not mean you never will. Every result should be interpreted with a doctor or genetic counsellor. Our in-house genetic counsellor can provide genetic counselling to help you better understand your results.
