What is Cancer Risk Testing?

Cancer risk genetic testing looks for inherited genetic variants that may increase your risk of developing certain cancers. It does not test for cancer itself.

Some people may choose broader panels that analyse many genes, while others opt for more targeted testing based on their personal or family history of cancer. If a close relative is known to carry a cancer-related genetic variant, you may choose targeted testing for that specific familial variant.

It’s important to distinguish genetic cancer risk testing from cancer screening or diagnostic tests (such as mammograms, FIT tests, or scans), which are designed to detect cancer or early signs of disease.

Our genetic counsellors and clinical geneticists will guide you through the options, explain the benefits and limitations, and help you decide which test is right for you.

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 clarify your risk of developing certain types of cancer, so you can take action early.

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

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.

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?

Some tests, such as mammograms or FIT tests, are used to screen for or diagnose cancer. At Jeen, we offer genetic testing that 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.

What are the different cancer risk panels offered through Jeen Health?

Jeen Health offers a range of genetic cancer risk panels designed to identify inherited gene changes that may increase the risk of certain cancers. Available options include:

Targeted multi-gene panels, focusing on a defined set of clinically actionable genes linked to cancers such as breast, ovarian, bowel, or prostate cancer

Comprehensive multi-gene panels, analysing a broader range of cancer-related genes; some genes are included only in specific cases and require approval from our genetic counsellors due to limited clinical evidence

Known familial variant testing, for individuals with a close relative known to carry a cancer-related genetic variant

All options are discussed during a consultation with one of our genetic counsellors or clinical geneticists, who will help you choose the most appropriate test and understand its benefits and limitations.

How accurate is genetic testing for cancer?

Our partner lab uses accurate and advanced technology, examining the target regions of your DNA about 50 times to make sure the results are reliable. While no genetic test can tell you if you will or will not get cancer, accurate testing can help give you useful insights about your personal risk.

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 you have a family history of cancer, genetic testing can provide useful information about your own risk. With support from Jeen’s expert genetic counsellors, your genetic test results can help you make informed decisions around risk management and plan ahead with confidence.

One of my relatives has been found to carry a variant in a cancer gene, can I find out if I carry it too?

If you have a close relative who carries a change in a gene that is confirmed to increase risk of developing cancer, you may choose to have a genetic test to find out if you carry the same gene change. In this case, it is helpful if you can provide a copy of you relative’s genetic test report to ensure the most accurate testing possible.
