A Hereditary Cancer Panel (CGx)* test is a type of genetic testing specifically designed to assess an individual's risk for developing certain types of cancers that may be inherited from their parents. This test analyzes multiple genes simultaneously to identify specific genetic mutations known to be associated with an increased risk of cancer. Cancer is a complex disease, and a significant portion of certain types of cancer can be attributed to inherited genetic mutations. Knowing your genetic makeup helps you understand your risk level, which can lead to more personalized and effective cancer surveillance and prevention strategies. Who Should Consider CGx Testing? CGx testing is particularly recommended for individuals who have: 1. A family history of cancer, especially if the cancer appeared at a younger age than usual. 2. Multiple relatives on the same side of the family with the same or related types of cancer. 3. A known family history of a genetic mutation linked to cancer.
