Introducing The GeneID PREVENTEST; a New, First to Market, non-invasive risk pre-disposition test for 8 of the most common solid tumor cancers:
Colorectal Breast Ovarian Endometrial Prostate Pancreas Stomach Skin
“Why Should I test for Cancer Risk?”
The Risk for Cancer
is significantly increased
with a Genetic Mutation
31 Genes Linked to 8
Cancers
6 more genes than Myriad
RETELAC2HRAS1
MRE11APTCH1RAD50
The Panel of Genes
Genes cross over and contribute to many
cancers
Lynch Syndrome:
A “Cancer Syndrome” defined by a mutation in one of 5 Genes: MLH1MSH2MSH6PMS2EPCAM
Increases risk of Colon, Endometrial, Ovarian, Skin and Stomach Cancer
“Why would my patients want to know this
information?”
…Because if they know that they are genetically pre-disposed to any of these 8 cancers, they can reduce the risk or even PREVENT the cancer from occurring!
What this information allows you to do…Take
Control!
Knowledge is power when it comes to Cancer Risk Testing and the good news is that patients can do something about it!
People at a higher risk for cancer may have the option of having:
1. More frequent cancer screenings
2. Avoiding specific risk factors
3. Making lifestyle changes to lessen additional risk
4. Taking preventive medication (chemoprevention
5. Having risk reducing surgeries in order to reduce their risk
The “Kit”
GeneID is a CLIA and CAP (College of American Pathology) Certified Molecular Laboratory specializing in Next Generation DNA Gene Sequencing using the Ion Torrent Micro Chip Technology by Life Technologies
The microchip contains over 7 million mini Test Tubes which allows us to be very accurate, do many tests at once and have a very quick turnaround.
We are based in Ramsey, NJ and service all states except NY
Our staff includes a CEO, Scientific Director, Medical Director, Billing Department, Lab Technicians, Genetic Counselors, and national Field Sales Team of 90 Account Executives
