HBOC Panel (Germline)

Description

The HBOC (Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer) Panel is a comprehensive genetic test that analyzes multiple genes associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. This germline test examines inherited genetic mutations, particularly in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2, along with other relevant genes. It’s crucial for identifying individuals with a hereditary predisposition to these cancers. The results of this test can significantly impact medical management, including increased surveillance, preventive surgeries, or targeted therapies. It’s particularly valuable for individuals with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, helping guide personalized risk assessment and prevention strategies.
