CGX Testing (Hereditary Cancer Screening)
Problem:
In 2018, there will be an estimated 1,735,350 new cancer cases diagnosed and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United States alone. (cancer.org)
Unfortunately, we ALL know people who have been diagnosed with cancer, and/or have passed away from cancer. For many, cancer seems a random and unavoidable nightmare.
In addition, general cancer screening isn’t promoted or taken advantage of nearly enough. Unfortunately, the physicians who do encourage their patients to participate in Hereditary Cancer Predisposition Testing are often utilizing clinical laboratories that test for a minimal number of gene-markers, which often miss the mark, and don’t provide patients with enough relevant clinical data to make an adequate determination.
