A genetic test can tell you your cancer risk years before symptoms would.
We're recommending our patients look into personalised breast and prostate cancer prevention — a simple test that shows your inherited risk and gives you and your doctor a clear plan for screening and prevention, tailored to you.
women will develop cancer in their lifetime — 1 in 3 for men.
personalised risk results already delivered to patients like you.
Most cancer risk is invisible until it's a diagnosis
Standard screening starts at a fixed age for everyone. But risk isn't the same for everyone — and most people carrying a higher inherited risk have no family history to warn them.
Screening starts too late for some
1 in 5 breast cancers are diagnosed in women under 50, before NHS screening begins.
Standard tests can miss it
PSA screening can still read normal in men who carry a high genetic risk of prostate cancer.
Family history isn't the full picture
Most people with an elevated genetic risk have no cancer anywhere in their family history.
Two tests, built around your risk
Both use a polygenic risk score — reading thousands of genetic variants alongside your age and background — to work out your personal risk level and what to do about it.
Breast cancer prevention
- Breast cancer affects 1 in 7 women in their lifetime.
- Your result is built from 2,803 genetic variants linked to breast cancer risk.
- You get a personal screening timeline — which may start well before age 50.
- Recommended whether or not cancer runs in your family.
Prostate cancer prevention
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men — around 55,000 new UK cases a year.
- An estimated 58% of prostate cancer risk is inherited.
- Your result flags risk that a normal PSA reading alone can miss.
- You get a personal plan for when, and how often, to be checked.

Something for your doctor
