What is my genetic risk level of skin melanoma?
How often should I see a doctor to check my skin for melanoma?
What can I do to reduce my risk of skin melanoma?
What changes and symptoms do I need to look out for regarding skin melanoma?
If melanoma is detected at an early stage, the chances of recovery are over 90%.
Among people aged 15-29 years, melanoma is the second most common cancer.
Melanoma is no 1 aggressive form of skin cancer, the incidence of melanoma among young adults is rapidly increasing.
Personalised cancer prevention is an up-to-date solution aimed at minimising the potential impact of three different cancers by tailoring it to your genetic risk level.
Tests take into account your unique characteristics – genetic composition, sex, age and ethnicity – which make your results fully personalised.
Personalised cancer prevention is meant for all women aged 35-75.
Research has shown that the genetic predisposition of many cancers is due to variants in many genes, meaning it is polygenic. Antegenes assesses a person’s risk of developing cancer using polygenic risk score technology, which is developed based on extensive international research. The polygenic risk score (PRS) sums up information over hundreds to thousands of genetic variants in the human genome. By combining the PRS with a person’s background (origin, age and gender), we are able to calculate a person’s risk of developing cancer and provide medical advice on prevention and early detection.
Based on the test results, you will receive personalised preventive recommendations from leading medical experts in the field. This guidance includes when and how to initiate cancer screening and other effective strategies to reduce your risks.
Armed with scientifically backed and well-documented medical advice, you are equipped to take preventive measures within your local healthcare system to proactively protect your health.
"Currently, a very large proportion of malignant tumors are diagnosed at a late stage, when the disease's prognosis for life is already poor. With personalised cancer prevention, it is possible to find an individual prevention plan for each person and, thanks to this, raise people's awareness of their health and possible risks."
"Since I am younger than the age of being called for breast cancer screening, it was important for me to take a genetic risk test to find out my own genetic risk assessment of breast cancer and what I can do at a younger age to maintain my health. I found out that I have a higher risk and I’m now advised to go for a mammography screening as early as age 40 and should do it every two years. This is why I strongly encourage and recommend this kind of genetic testing – it gave me a sense of peace."
"When I had the opportunity to find out my personal cancer risk, I didn't doubt for a second. These are not empty words, but I believe the revolution in cancer prevention is really here. I now know that I must start a routine check 10 years before the national colorectal cancer screening. This is valuable information that you should not be afraid of."
Personalised melanoma prevention is based on the AnteMEL test, which includes genetic risk testing for skin melanoma.
