Type of Cancers

Type of Cancers

We offer expert advice and testing for a range of genes that may increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer.

Why Test?

In the UK, 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life. Genetic testing can help identify your risk of developing some of the most common types of cancer, so you can take action early.

Up to 10%

of all cancers are linked to inherited genetic changes including some of the most common gender-specific cancers like breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Genetic Counselling

The Power of Pedigree

A key part of your test is a 45-minute personalised session with one of our genetic counsellors. Genetics can be complex, but you're not alone. We're here to guide you through it. By exploring your family history, we can uncover valuable insights that could make a real difference to your health.

The Test

Cancer Focus Panel

Our genetic cancer panel focuses on 50 carefully chosen genes, all backed by strong scientific evidence. While some tests look at more genes, many include ones with little clinical value. We focus on what’s most useful, so you get results you can actually act on.

The Lab

Medicine is always evolving and so are we. Our expert team stays up to date with the latest research and clinical guidelines, so you’re always getting advice that’s current, trusted, and tailored to you.

What's Next?

What happens if my DNA shows a higher-risk gene?

01

Genetic Counselling

Our pre-test counselling is designed to help you understnad the scope of the test and your hereditary cancer risk. Our experienced counsellors will prepare you for all the outcomes of your test.

02

Follow Up

We will offer you a complimentary consultation with our genetics clinician specialising in cancer genetics to further discuss the implications of the higher risk test result.

03

Tailored Plan

Our clinical team will create a personalised plan for you, which may include further tests or scans, along with lifestyle changes to help reduce your risk. In some cases, we may also recommend risk‑reducing surgery if it's the right option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is genetic testing for cancer performed?

At Jeen, our private genetic testing for cancer uses a simple cheek swab you can do at home. Your DNA is analysed in a certified lab to look for inherited changes that may increase your cancer risk.

We test for more than just cancer genes, giving you faster results and a fuller picture of your health. Whether you're in London or anywhere in the UK, our private cancer screening helps you take control of your health with expert guidance.

What cancers can be genetically tested?

If you’re looking for comprehensive genetic testing to check for inherited risks linked to breast, ovarian, prostate, bowel, pancreatic, or skin cancers, Jeen offers at-home DNA tests across the UK.

The test analyses 50 carefully chosen genes, each backed by strong scientific evidence linked to prostate cancer risk. Our testing gives you a clearer view of your genetic risk and helps you make confident, informed decisions about your health.

Can genetic testing detect cancer?

Genetic testing looks for inherited gene changes that could raise your risk of certain cancers, often before any symptoms appear.

It doesn’t detect cancer itself, but it gives you the chance to take early, proactive steps like tailored screening or prevention. With this insight, you can understand your health better and stay one step ahead.

How accurate is genetic testing for cancer?

Our genetic testing for cancer at Jeen is designed for accuracy and reliability.

Our partner lab uses advanced technology called 50x sequencing, which reads each part of your DNA about 50 times. This helps us find inherited gene changes linked to cancers like breast, ovarian, prostate, and bowel cancer.

While no test can guarantee you’ll or won’t get cancer, ours gives you trusted insights to help you plan ahead. Learn more about the statistics here at Jeen.

How long does genetic testing for cancer take?

At Jeen, your genetic testing journey takes up to four weeks from start to finish. You’ll have a consultation with a genetic counsellor, receive an at-home cheek swab kit, and send it back by post.

Your DNA is analysed in a certified lab, and results are shared with you promptly, so you can take the next steps with confidence.

Should I get tested for cancer if it runs in my family?

If cancer runs in your family, genetic testing can help uncover inherited risks you might not even be aware of. Some gene changes can skip generations or be influenced by lifestyle. Even a distant relative’s diagnosis could matter. During your appointment, we’ll go through a full family history (called a pedigree) to understand your risk in more detail. With support from Jeen’s expert genetic counsellors, you’ll get the answers you need to make informed choices and plan ahead with confidence.
