    Earlier and more frequent screenings

    For example, if you have an increased risk for breast cancer, your healthcare provider might recommend mammograms at an earlier age.

    Preventive measures

    Your healthcare provider may suggest preventive measures, such as certain medications that can reduce your cancer risk.

    Proactive care for your family

    As hereditary health disorders run in families, your results can help your loved ones understand their hereditary cancer risk.

    Lori's Story

    “We are proactive about our health because we want to feel good and be healthy and live a long life and be able to do things that we want to do.”

    Lori is a breast cancer survivor. She learned that she has a mutation in a gene called CHEK2, which increases her risk of getting breast cancer and other cancers. Thanks to finding out early, she was able to do extra screenings and learned that she has early-stage breast cancer. Lori is healthy now and shares her story along with her daughter, Sydney.

    Ellen's Story

    “What it means for the future is that if something should occur that requires treatment, I feel like I've got one more tool in the toolbox, a little bit more information to deal with it well.”

    Ellen took the Hereditary Cancer Test so that she could make informed health decisions along with her doctors. She had breast cancer fourteen years ago. Her doctors recommended Color to help ensure that she is on the best screening and prevention plan for her.
