Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES)_ONCO is an advanced genetic test that analyzes the protein-coding regions (exons) of thousands of genes associated with inherited cancer syndromes and cancer-related disorders. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), it identifies disease-causing genetic variants that may increase cancer risk, assist in diagnosis, guide targeted treatment decisions, and support genetic counseling for patients and their families.
Why is this test performed?
Detect hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes.
Identify pathogenic genetic variants linked to various cancers.
Support precision oncology and personalized treatment planning.
Assist in risk assessment for family members.
Help determine eligibility for targeted therapies and clinical trials.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with a strong family history of cancer.
Patients diagnosed with cancer at a young age.
People with multiple primary cancers.
Families with suspected hereditary cancer syndromes.
Individuals advised by an oncologist or genetic counselor for comprehensive genetic evaluation.
