The benefits of genetic testing

Knowing your genetic makeup can help your doctor determine the best next steps for you.

Treatment

Results may direct your doctor to therapies that may be more likely to work for you, including specific types of surgeries, chemotherapies, or targeted treatments.
In some cases, they can also qualify you for clinical trials.

Future Health

Results may suggest how likely it is that you’ll develop another cancer in the future, so you can be proactive and consider with your doctor risk-reducing surgery, medicines that can prevent cancer from developing (“chemoprevention”), or increased screenings going forward.

Family members

Discovering that you have a genetic mutation means that your family members may also be at risk.
They can get tested too and, if they also have the genetic change, can get more frequent cancer screenings so they can act early, when treatment is most effective.

Genetic testing may have significant medical, financial, and psychological implications. If you’re going to have a genetic test for cancer, you should work with genetic counselors before the tests so you understand all the ways genetic testing for cancer may affect you and your family.
