Hereditary Cancer

Understanding your risks, Empowering your future.

Genetic testing for hereditary cancer offers a window into your long-term health, providing valuable insights into your risk for many adult-onset cancers. Many cancers are rooted in specific, inheritable gene mutations that our technology can detect long before any symptoms ever develop.

It is important to remember that these mutations simply indicate an increased risk; they do not mean a cancer diagnosis is inevitable. By identifying these markers early, you and your healthcare provider can make proactive, informed decisions—such as increased surveillance or lifestyle adjustments—that may significantly lower your overall risk. 

Our hereditary cancer panels detect mutations associated with: * Breast cancer 

  • Ovarian cancer 
  • Uterine cancer 
  • Prostate cancer 
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers 


Carcinogenetic (CGx) Test Results:
 Our detailed carcinogenetic (CGx) test goes deep, analyzing specific genes and tumor markers to assess your risk of developing or redeveloping cancer.

Research shows that if a gene mutation or tumor marker is present in a close relative, your own risk can be up to 8 times higher for that specific cancer. 

What to expect from carcinogenetic testing: At Blueswan Specialty Labs, we’ve made high-complexity testing remarkably simple. Once your provider orders the kit, you can collect your specimen in the privacy of your home and submit it to one of our designated centers. 

We prioritize your peace of mind with a quick turnaround, delivering results to your provider in just 1–2 weeks. Because we know this information carries an emotional weight, we offer professional genetic counseling both before and after testing to ensure you and your family have the support you need.
