CANCER GENOMICS

We can look for particular genetic variants that increase the risk of hereditary cancer by analyzing a patient’s DNA.

We analyse a patient’s sample using the most recent developments in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). resulting in the production of a thorough report on genetic variations and related risk factors. Besides, the ordering physician is able to develop a treatment protocol to address any troubling findings with the assistance of our genetic counsellors. Also, knowing one’s risk factors enables patients and their doctors to manage identified risks in a proactive rather than reactive manner.

Who falls in the risk zone ?

  • A person who has a personal history of cancer
  • Someone who has had hereditary cancer genetic testing and variants were found
  • Someone who has had one or more family members diagnosed with cancer before the age of 50
  • Someone who has multiple family members with various cancers
RR Labs US is a staunch advocate of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO)*, especially regarding their recommendations on genetic and genomic testing that were outlined in the 2009 policy statement: follow-up care, increased education and awareness, multidisciplinary research, pre- and post-test counselling, informed consent, accessibility through insurance, privacy and data security, and continued oversight for accuracy, validity, and quality of genetic tests.

PHARMACOGENOMICS (PGX)

Pharmacogenomics, also known as PGx, is a type of genetic testing that examines genetic variations to ascertain how the body metabolises many of the most widely used drugs available today. Moreover, PGx testing is one of the most effective methods for assisting your doctor in selecting the most appropriate drug for you, which is why the term “personalised medicine” is frequently used to describe it.

When determining the best course of treatment for you, your healthcare provider will also take into account other aspects like your age, lifestyle, other medications you are taking, and general health. Moreover, a PGx test is an invasive, once-in-a-lifetime procedure with results that are available in as little as 7 days.

That said, the following PGx profiles are available from RR Labs US:

  • Pain Management
  • Psychiatry
  • Cardiology
Additionally, some advantages for medical professionals, including doctors and patients are the right medication, dosage, indication, and timing
