Genetic study of hereditary cancer
An advanced genetic test that assesses whether you have Hereditary predisposition to different types of cancer through the study of multiple genes. Ideal if you have a family history, want to know your risk, or are looking for a personalized preventive assessment.

Key information for planning prevention and medical follow-up
What is the genetic test for hereditary cancer?
The genetic test for hereditary cancer analyzes a broad set of genes to identify mutations that increase the risk of developing cancer throughout life.
This analysis is also known as:
- Hereditary cancer genetic panel
- Genetic study of predisposition to cancer
- Genetic cancer risk test
The goal is to detect inherited changes that may influence the appearance of tumors such as breast, ovary, colon, prostate, pancreas or others, allowing preventive or clinical follow-up decisions to be made from early stages.
Who is this test for?
This study is recommended if:
✓ There is a family history of cancer (breast, ovary, colon, prostate, pancreas, etc.).
✓ A family member developed cancer at a young age.
✓ There are several cases in the same family or several affected generations.
✓ You want to know your genetic risk in order to plan preventive measures.
✓ You are looking for genetic information for family planning.
You don't need to have symptoms: it's a test preventive, not diagnostic.
What exactly does this genetic study analyze?
The test includes:
1. Hereditary Cancer Multigene Panel
It evaluates genes related to hereditary syndromes such as:
- Pancreatic and gastric cancer associated with hereditary mutations.
- Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (BRCA1, BRCA2, other associated genes).
- Lynch syndrome (increased risk of colorectal and uterine cancer).
- Hereditary prostate cancer.
2. Identification of germline mutations
It detects pathogenic or risk variants that may increase the likelihood of developing certain tumors.
3. Results valid for life
Genetic information it does not changeTherefore, this study is only conducted once.
Benefits of having this analysis done
It allows you to anticipate
Knowing your predisposition helps to establish early surveillance strategies.
Facilitates personalized clinical decisions
The results guide the frequency of check-ups, screenings, and preventive measures.
It brings clarity to the family history
It helps to identify hereditary causes when there are several cases in the family.
Useful information for family members
If a variant is detected, other members may be preventively assessed.
Comfortable test
All you need is a blood sample.
