About This Treatment

Multi-gene panel testing for hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes including BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome genes, and other high-penetrance cancer genes. China's molecular genetics laboratories offer comprehensive panels of 50-100+ cancer predisposition genes with detailed family history analysis and risk management recommendations.

Procedure Steps
1

Family Cancer History

Detailed three-generation pedigree construction, cancer history documentation, and panel selection based on family pattern.

Duration: 1 hour
2

Sample Collection

Blood sample collection for germline DNA extraction and comprehensive panel sequencing.

Duration: 30 minutes
3

Panel Sequencing

Next-generation sequencing of 50-100+ cancer genes with deletion/duplication analysis (MLPA) for structural variants.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
4

Risk Assessment and Management

Genetic counseling with result disclosure, cancer risk quantification, screening recommendations, and risk-reduction options.

Duration: 1-2 hours
