Genetic Predisposition Screening for colorectal cancer

How can you benefit from this health screening?

• An assessment of the colorectal cancer risk by means of the state-of-the-art method that complies with the highest standards.
• The widest genetic test for genetic predispositions to colorectal cancer.
• An analysis of as many as 25 genes that increase the risk of the disease
• An individual plan of prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer.
• Reliability and professionalism –unlike other companies on the market, we offer tests from blood samples accompanied by a reliable description of results by a physician. You do not have to collect the sample yourself from the cheek and you are never left alone with the test results.
• Safety –we know that your genetic material represents sensitive medical information and, therefore, we take all possible measures to properly protect it. We analyse the specimens in a Warsaw-based laboratory, which allows us to exercise relevant control at every single stage, from collection until disposal once the analysis is over.

• a genetic test performed by means of state-of-the-art methods for DNA an analysis (NGS – next-generation sequencing), guaranteeing high precision and reliability
• an analysis of family history and clinical data as well as test and examination results by a team of specialists
• an internist consultation
• 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, especially in individuals under the age of 40 years.
• a relative of yours has been diagnosed with gene mutations that are responsible for the development of colorectal cancer
• you want to detect the potential genetic predispositions to undertake early preventive measures

Take the “Genetic testing for colorectal cancer” screening examination. Check whether or not you are in the risk group.

The procedure

You can receive your screening during 2 appointments in the 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 colorectal cancer, 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

The waiting time for the results is up to 7 weeks

Colorectal cancer affects approximately 16,000 Poles every year. This cancer is the second most frequent carcinoma in females and third in males.

It may remain asymptomatic for many years and is therefore diagnosed at an advanced stage.

More than 10% of colorectal cancer cases are of a hereditary nature.

The presence of the mutation does not entail imminent development of colorectal cancer, but considerably increases the related risk during the patient's whole life.

If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or confirmed mutation in any of the genes, you should have a check-up to verify whether or not you have inherited the genes associated with the disease.

Knowing about your genetic predisposition, you can make a conscious decision about preventive measures that reduce the risk of developing the disease.
