Evidence
The Invitae Common Hereditary Cancers panel analyzes 47 genes associated with hereditary breast, ovarian, uterine, prostate, colorectal, gastric, melanoma, and pancreatic cancers. Individuals with a pathogenic variant in one of these genes have an increased risk of developing certain cancers, many of which may be difficult both to detect and to treat. Identifying those at high risk enables implementation of additional screening, surveillance, and interventions. These efforts may result in risk reduction and early diagnosis, increasing the chances of successful treatment and survival.
