Most cancers become more prevalent as people age – the vast majority are diagnosed in people over 60. Unfortunately, too many cancers are still diagnosed late. With modern treatments and surgical techniques, early detection can often make a significant difference to the outcome.
Cancer screening, as part of a preventative screening package is a recognised part of modern medicine. Advances in technology and medical science mean that signs of disease or other health issues can be detected much earlier than before. Action can be taken at an early stage with potential opportunity to improve quality of life.
Genetic testing looks for changes in your DNA that can inform your medical care. These are sometimes called mutations or variants in your DNA. The London General Practice's test providers have found that 16.1% of healthy adults carry a serious health related risk.
For healthy adults who wish to gain important, medically actionable insights based on their DNA, they offer proactive genetic testing.
The tests at The London General Practice will give you insights into important health risks you may, or may not, have based on genetic variants in your DNA.
The results of these tests will not tell you that you will develop a condition. Instead, these tests help you understand if you have an increased risk of developing a condition.
Your Doctor can recommend screening and prevention strategies that focus on those conditions that are identified as higher risk.
A half hour consultation will be booked where your Doctor will explain genetic testing, how it works and advise you of the most appropriate testing panel.
Your blood sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. Genetic testing is typically done using a sample of blood, saliva, or tissue, however, at The London General Practice, they prefer a blood sample as this reduces the possibility of contamination.
The Laboratory will test your DNA and the results will be sent directly to your Doctor.
Your Doctor will discuss the results with you during your follow up appointment and where appropriate, plan a strategy to manage and minimise any identified risks.
The test helps uncover what your DNA says about your health by analysing genes related to a wide range of important health conditions. Understanding your genetic risks can help you and your doctor take steps to protect your health and build a proactive, and personalised plan focused on prevention. Depending on the condition, treatments could include medication, regular screening tests, or a change in behaviour.
The London General Practice offers test panels that can be taken separately, at the same time or as part of one of their Health Screening services.
