The most common cause of cancer is non-genetic factors — such as environment, lifestyle, or age — about 10 percent of cancer is the result of a gene mutation that is passed down from generation to generation. This is what’s called hereditary cancer.
You will know if you carry a cancer gene mutation and determine if you’re at higher risk of developing certain cancers — or second cancer if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer by genetic testing.
St. Elizabeth Women's Health supplies universal genetic testing to all patients with breast cancer and is the first and only center for that. Genetic testing was reserved for a small subset of cancer patients in the past.
However, studies are suggesting that this approach may be missing a significant number of people with a risk of cancer that is “running in the family.”
In line with their mission for health and prevention in Northern Kentucky, They now offer this test to all women with a diagnosis who wish to address this concern.
Universal genetic testing is for all patients with pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and advanced prostate cancer.
In another effort to provide cutting-edge care to their patients, St. Elizabeth Women's Health also supplies genetic testing for metabolic response to certain chemotherapy drugs, which is called Pharmacogenomic Screening, which will be discussed with you by your oncologist if you are an appropriate candidate for testing.
