13.5% of all cancer incidences in India are Breast Cancers1
Breast Cancer Risk Statistics
Nearly 60% of Breast Cancer cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV of the disease1
According to the World Cancer Report 2020, the most efficient intervention for Breast Cancer control is early detection and rapid treatment.
Genetic Testing and Early Detection
- When breast cancer is detected early, and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%2.
- 10-15% of breast cancers are genetic in origin, and are majorly caused by BRCA1/2 mutations.
- Early detection of genetic causes can provide vital inputs for preventative measures, family planning and risk assessment.
Who can benefit from Breast & Ovarian Cancer Genetic Screening?
- Any adult who wants to understand their genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer and create a proactive mitigation plan
- Individuals who have family history of breast cancer or related cancers
- Individuals with higher risk of breast cancer
- Individuals who had other genetic disorders related to breast cancer
- Women who had first child after 35
- Women with a history of taking fertility drugs or hormone therapy
How will Genetic Testing help?
- Genetic screening tests enable detection of variants in specific genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2 and provide crucial insights to understanding a patient's susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer
- Understanding risks can help trained genetic counselors and clinicians provide guidance on creating proactive mitigation plans including more regular checks
- Presence of inherited genetic mutations can inform corresponding screening tests for other family members
Indian populations have a high prevalence of mutations in breast cancer-risk genes including BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53 and PALB2 (read Strand's publication on India’s first large scale cohort study on Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer here)
