Genetic Testing for Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to detect early, often remaining silent until it reaches advanced stages. However, with advancements in ovarian cancer screening, we now have more powerful tools at our disposal.
Genetic testing for ovarian cancer represents a critical breakthrough in early detection, allowing people to better understand their genetic risks long before symptoms appear. By leveraging the latest in genetic research and technology, we can identify those at increased risk of ovarian cancer, even if they aren’t showing any signs of the disease.
Medical Examination Melbourne – Genetic Ovarian Screening
HealthScreen provides a comprehensive ovarian cancer detection service, combining advanced genetic testing for ovarian cancer with traditional methods for a thorough examination. Our approach analyses your genetic makeup to identify inherited mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, which significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer. We also integrate essential tests like the CA125 blood test to provide a complete overview of your ovarian health. This holistic approach allows us to detect potential issues early and guide both preventative measures and treatment options, giving you a clear and accurate picture of your health.
State-of-the-Art Genetic Testing Facilities
Our Melbourne facilities are equipped with the latest medical technology to offer. We use cutting-edge tools for genetic testing for ovarian cancer, analysing your DNA for specific mutations that may elevate your risk. In addition to genetic testing, we employ advanced imaging technologies such as high-resolution ultrasounds and MRIs to detect early-stage ovarian cancer. With the CA125 blood test as part of our comprehensive screening, HealthScreen ensures the best possible chance for early identification and treatment of ovarian cancer.
How is Ovarian Cancer Screened?
Your HealthScreen journey begins with a thorough consultation where our medical professionals review your medical history and any relevant family history of ovarian cancer. This information is crucial for tailoring the examination to your specific risk factors. You will then undergo genetic testing, which involves analysing your DNA to look for genetic mutations associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. In addition to genetic testing, we will conduct a CA125 blood test, which measures the level of a protein found in the blood that can indicate the presence of ovarian cancer. Once all tests are completed, you will meet with your doctor to discuss the results and explore your options for treatment or further screening if necessary.
