Benefits of Genetic testing:
Predict your risk of a particular disease
Find if you have genes that may pass increased cancer risk to your children
Provide information to guide your health care
No genetic test can say if you will develop cancer for sure. But it can tell you if you have a higher risk than most people.
Only some people with a gene mutation will develop cancer. What does this mean? A woman may have a 45% to 65% chance of breast cancer. But she may never develop the disease. Meanwhile, a woman with a 25% chance may develop breast cancer.
