HBOC screening is a genetic test that identifies mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2, which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. It helps assess cancer risk, allowing for earlier detection and personalized prevention or treatment options, especially for those with a family history.
The preferred sample is peripheral blood, which must be collected by a Lablog medical professional in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. If you're located outside Metro Manila, we will send you a test kit and conduct a live video tutorial to guide you step-by-step on how to properly collect a saliva sample. We’ll also provide instructions on how to handle and ship the sample back to our office for testing.
