Genetic Risk Evaluation

Genetic Risk Testing

BRCAssure® BRCA1/2 Analysis

  • Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for the vast majority of families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC).1
  • 60% to 80% of breast cancers in women with a BRCA1 mutation are triple negative.1
  • The estimated lifetime risk for breast and ovarian cancer is significantly increased in women with BRCA1/2 mutations.1 
  • Both men and women with mutations in BRCA1/2 may also be at increased risk of other cancers, including pancreatic, prostate, and melanoma.2

Genetic Risk Testing

VistaSeq® Hereditary Cancer Panels

  • VistaSeq Hereditary Cancer Panels provide an assessment of genetic mutations known to be associated with hereditary cancer syndromes.
    • Breast Cancer Panel
    • High/Moderate Risk Breast Cancer Panel
    • Breast and GYN Cancer Panel
  • Genetic tests, like VistaSeq and BRCAssure, inform a patient's risk of cancer and may guide therapy for patients with cancer.
  • Mutation-specific sequencing for patients with a family history of known germline mutations.

Complex Tumor Analysis by IHC

Our extensive antibody library and team of pathologists can provide a differential diagnostic analysis in even the most difficult cases.

  • Breast: in situ vs. invasive
  • Breast: ductal vs. lobular
  • TriView Breast (microinvasion) (triple stain CK5/p63/LMW)

Prosigna® Breast Prognostic Gene Signature Assay

Prosigna is an FDA 510(k) cleared assay that provides a risk category (low, intermediate, high) and a numerical score (0-100) for the assessment of distant recurrence of disease at 10-years for postmenopausal women with early stage, hormone receptor-positive, invasive breast cancer.10
