genetic test for breast cancer
DESCRIPTION
Eastern Biotech is offering predictive test for Breast Cancer.TRANSCRIPT
deCODE Breast CancerTM
deCODE Breast CancerTM identifies 7 widely replicated genetic variants (SNPs) that are associated with increased risk of developing common breast cancer, independent of familyhistory. These SNPs contribute to the incidence of anestimated 60 percent of all breast cancers. It is a novel, noninvasive, DNA-based reference laboratory test that offers physicians the opportunityto begin screening or initiate early treatment in those who are at increased risk.
BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 CommonMutation
.
BreastSafe® TestThis special logic-based profiling test improves thesensitivity of breast cancer diagnosis by identifyingthe lumps at a very early stage before any symptomsappear.
Her 2 Gene AmplificationWomen with HER2-positive breast cancer (not passed to
the family) have a more aggressive disease, greater
likelihood of recurrence, poorer prognosis, and decreased
survival compared to women with HER2-negative breast
cancer. It is thus an important diagnosis for the treatment of
breast cancer.
OncotypeDX Breast Cancer AssayOncotype DX ® is a diagnostic assay that quantifies the likelihood of
breast cancer recurrence in women with newly diagnosed, early stage
breast cancer. It is validated for use in breast cancer patients whose
disease is:
l Newly diagnosed
l Stage I or II
l Node-negative
l Estrogen receptor-positive
Oncotype DX offers clinical experience information for newly
diagnosed women who are post-menopausal and have node positive,
estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and who will be treated with
tamoxifen.
Comprehensive Genetic AnalysisBreast Cancer
BRCA 1 a n d BRCA 2 a r e t h e p r ima r y g e n e sresponsible for the hereditary breast cancers. Statisticssugge s t tha t up to 10% of br e a s t c anc e r s a r ehereditary. Patients who have a strong family historyof early-onset breast cancer in multiple first-degreerelatives are often tested for the common mutations inthe BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes.
