Beat Cancer at $1950 in Cape Town
This package focuses on sporadic cancer risk. Genes are triggered by one another and by the environment (e.g. food, toxins, infections, radiation, products formed during metabolism in obese individuals).
Only genetic changes that have been shown to have a fairly strong association with cancer risk are helpful in deploying general cancer prevention strategies. As research progresses, more evidence will emerge, enabling health professionals to become more specific.
Individuals concerned about breast cancer can already have a targeted approach, as the screen can be augmented by a breast cancer risk profile.
Test type
The cancer profile consists of mutations in folic acid metabolism. Tests done with regard to breast cancer depend on the risks that are based on family history and other carriers in the family.
