Hereditary Cancer Risk Tests

If cancer has affected you or several biological relatives, you may wonder whether an inherited gene change could help explain the pattern.

Private hereditary cancer risk tests give you access to selected genetic panels that can support more informed conversations about screening, prevention and whether relatives may also benefit from professional advice.
You can keep testing focused on a particular cancer type or syndrome, or choose wider coverage when the family history is less specific or includes different cancers.
Our current range offers two practical approaches. PreSENTIA provides 19 panels using an at-home buccal cheek swab, while OncoNext Risk provides 11 blood-based panels and includes free genetic counselling.

Key information about hereditary cancer testing

Focused and broader hereditary cancer panels are available
Sample collection uses an at-home Buccal Cheek Swab or blood, depending on the test
The tests explore inherited predisposition rather than whether cancer is present now
A relevant result may also matter to biological relatives
It is important to remember that most cancers are not caused by an inherited gene change. Even so, when a relevant inherited change is found, it can provide useful information for conversations about personalised screening, prevention and whether biological relatives may also want professional advice.

Compare our hereditary cancer risk tests

PreSENTIA and OncoNext Risk both explore inherited cancer predisposition, but they offer different panel structures, sample routes and levels of support. PreSENTIA provides 19 panels using an at-home Buccal Cheek Swab, while OncoNext Risk provides 11 blood-based panels with free genetic counselling.
If your personal or family history points towards a defined cancer type or syndrome, a focused panel may be the clearest place to begin. Alternatively, a broader panel can cover several cancer groups when the pattern is less specific or involves more than one type of cancer.
Start with “If you’re looking for…” in each test summary, then compare the panel structure, sample method and available support to see which approach most closely matches your priorities.

This excludes the time required for your test kit to be delivered, the return transit of your sample, and any time your sample is awaiting collection from your home or place of work.

What a hereditary cancer result can add

Your report may identify an inherited change associated with increased cancer risk, find no relevant change within the selected panel or identify a finding that needs further investigation. If a relevant change is found, the result can then support more personalised conversations about screening, prevention and biological relatives.

However, the result does not sit in isolation. Its meaning depends on the specific finding, your personal and family history and other relevant factors. Your healthcare professional can bring this information together and explain whether clinical confirmation or another step may be useful.

We always recommend that results are discussed with your Healthcare Professional.
