Hereditary Cancer Test Kit (PreSENTIA)
What is cancer?
Cancer is the rapid and uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells. It is the second leading cause of death, responsible for 1 out of 6 deaths globally. World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that cancer mortality can be significantly reduced by early detection and proper clinical management of cancers.
How does cancer develop?
Cancer develops after certain genes that are responsible for keeping our body healthy are changed (mutated). Cancer can be:
• Sporadic: Mutations in the genes causing cancer to accumulate over time due to risk factors like chemical and environmental factors. These mutations cannot be inherited.
• Hereditary: These mutations exist from birth. They run in families and can be passed down from parents to their children. They do not always develop into cancer – but they raise someone's chances of developing cancer in the future. Inherited genetic mutations make up for 5-10% of all cancers.
If you or a family member were diagnosed with hereditary cancer or a genetic change that is linked to cancer, there’s a high chance other members of your family carry the mutation as well.
Different Types of PreSentia Cancer Screening Tests:
- GENES TESTED BY PreSENTIA HEREDITARY CANCER PANELS
- HEREDITARY BREAST/GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME/LEUKEMIA CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY COLORECTAL CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY ENDOCRINE CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY GASTRIC CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY PROSTATE CANCER PANEL
- HEREDITARY RENAL CANCER PANEL

- Hereditary Cancer Test Kit (PreSENTIA) Test is a Buccal Swab
What is PreSENTIA and how it can help you prevent cancer?
PreSENTIA is an extensive portfolio of 19 hereditary cancer panels. Each panel focuses on a particular set of genes that determine your chances of developing cancer in the future. The genetic changes (mutations) in the genes that cause cancer can be inherited from parents to their children. Using specialised diagnosis at an early stage is essential to prevent and control the cancer.

A mutation is a change that happens in the DNA that could possibly affect the health of an individual.
Genetic testing identifies changes in the DNA.
Cancer susceptibility, or predisposition, is the likelihood of developing cancer in the future. This depends on an individual’s DNA. There are certain inherited, genetic changes that raise someone’s risk of developing cancer in the future. This is because these changes happen in genes that are responsible for protecting the body from disease, and when they are affected, their protective role halts.
Germline mutations are changes in the DNA that are inherited from parents to their children. These changes are present from birth in all the cells in the body. Germline mutations are different from somatic mutations, which occur when a genetic change happens in the DNA due to exposure to risk factors – after a person is born. People with germline mutations in a cancer gene have a higher chance of developing cancer in their lifetime. If cancer develops due to a germline mutation, it is called hereditary cancer.
A hereditary screening test checks if an individual has an inherited, genetic change in a gene with high cancer susceptibility from birth. Identifying the mutation that could cause cancer in the future is useful for people with cancer in their family history, and for people suspected of having a hereditary form of cancer. This knowledge can help with better medical planning and avoiding risk factors.
