Hereditary Breast & Ovarian Cancer - 26 genes (HBOC)

Prince Muhammad Bin Abdulaziz Rd As Sulimaniyah, Riyadh - 145KM

Most cases of breast cancer are caused by an unfortunate interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers. Women who have a high risk of breast cancer are at an even higher risk if they follow an unhealthy lifestyle. It is important for women to know their genetic risk, and if necessary, to take preventive measures and/or make lifestyle changes.
Although some cases of breast cancer occur sporadically with age, it is estimated that genetic predisposition is responsible for about 58% of breast cancer cases. twenty six genes associated with breast cancer can now be tested for traits that affect an individual's risk of disease such as (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, BRIP1, TP53, PTEN, STK11, CDH1, ATM, BARD1, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, PMS1, PMS2, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, NF1, EPCAM, SMARCA4, CDK12). A person with a strong genetic predisposition to cancer can reduce their overall risk by adopting a balanced diet and avoiding other risk factors. Also, regular checkups will allow the early detection of the disease, and the timely treatment.
