We can now be tested for genetic factors that could indicate if we have an increased risk of certain cancers including hard-to-treat cancers like ovarian cancer, allowing us to take a proactive approach.
SouthCoast Health experts share info on genetic testing and ovarian cancer here – including who should be tested for ovarian cancer.
Candidacy for genetic testing for ovarian cancer risk is determined on a patient-by-patient basis. Aside from having a family history of ovarian cancer, other factors that may make you a candidate for testing include:
*Being diagnosed with at least two other types of cancer
*Having a relative with a known BRCA1 or BRCA2 variant
*Having Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that increases ovarian cancer risk
*Being of Ashkenazi (or Eastern European) Jewish descent, as genetic variants are common among this population
In addition to preventive care such as physicals and vaccinations, SouthCoast Health also offers specialized care including lab services and imaging. See their full list of care services online or call 912-691-3600 to schedule an appointment.
