“I Want to Know Everything” Genetic Predisposition Screening

Co zyskujesz, decydując się na ten przegląd?

• Ocena ryzyka zachorowania na 10 nowotworów, w tym: raka jelita grubego, trzustki, piersi, jajnika, prostaty, endometrium, czerniaka, nerki, tarczycy oraz żołądka.
• Analiza ponad 60 genów zwiększających ryzyko zachorowania.
• Opracowanie indywidualnego planu profilaktyki i wczesnego wykrywania nowotworów.
• Rzetelność i profesjonalizm – w przeciwieństwie do innych firm na rynku oferujemy badania z próbki krwi wraz z wiarygodnym opisem wyników przez lekarza. Nie musisz samodzielnie pobierać próbki z policzka i nigdy nie zostajesz sam z wynikami.
• Bezpieczeństwo – wiemy, że Twój materiał genetyczny to wrażliwe dane medyczne, dlatego podejmujemy wszelkie możliwe środki, aby je odpowiednio chronić. Badania przeprowadzamy w laboratorium zlokalizowanym w Warszawie, co pozwala nam na pełną kontrolę na każdym etapie – od pobrania po utylizację po zakończonej analizie.

• a genetic test performed by means of state of the art methods for DNA analysis (NGS – next-generation sequencing), guaranteeing high precision and reliability
• an analysis of a family history and clinical data as well as of test and examination results by a team of specialists
• a consultation with an internal medicine specialist
• an individual prevention plan based on the assessment of cancer risk

The screening is particularly recommended if:

• you have a family history of colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, thyroid cancer or gastric cancer;
• a relative of yours has been diagnosed as a carrier of mutation in one of the genes that increase the risk of cancers;
• you want to detect your potential genetic predispositions to undertake early preventive measures;

Perform the “I Want to Know Everything” Genetic Predisposition Screening. Check whether or not you are a carrier of any mutation that entails an increased risk of developing cancers

The procedure

You can receive your screening during2 appointments at in Medicover Centre

• Prior to your appointment in the Medicover Centre, fill in the detailed “Patient’s Survey” concerning cancer incidence in your family, which will be sent to you in the purchase confirmation e mail. Please bring the survey with you to your first appointment in the Medicover Centre.
• During the first appointment, we will collect your blood sample. Next, the blood test results, along with the survey, are assessed by a specialist in genetic diagnostics who sends an opinion with recommendations to the Medicover Centre.
• During the second appointment in the Centre, you will meet your internal medicine specialist, who will discuss the test results and the related recommendations with you. The physician will work with you to establish an individual plan of prevention and early detection of cancers, with particular emphasis on your life plans.

Validity period of the screening: 3 months from the date indicated in the order confirmation.

You can receive your screening in the Medicover Centre Jerozolimskie

Waiting time for the results: up to 7 weeks

Cancers are the second most common cause of death in Poland. Cancers affect approximately 157 thousand Poles each year, leading to nearly 95 thousand deaths.

The development of cancer is driven by numerous factors, such as the lifestyle (e.g. low physical activity, unhealthy diet, substance use, and risky sexual behaviours), the physical and social environment (e.g. poor water quality, environmental contamination, poor air quality, sun exposure) as well as genetic aspects.

The occurrence of cancer is related to a number of genes, some of which have already been identified by scientists. Therefore, a DNA test of a given individual can detect a certain mutation that entails an increased risk of developing cancers. Being aware of a genetic predisposition, we are able to make conscious decisions about the scope of prevention and other measures to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
